Pros

Great Brand, good products but lost its way!!

Cons

European strategy centre is so far from away from customers it has absolutely no idea what customers want and need. The sales focus of the business is woefully poor and morale is dire.

We're confident that investments and changes shared with our employees are making a positive impact - but appreciate that we need to continue looking at the most effective ways to communicate, engage with and retain talent e.g. the Development Hub. Its an industry-wide challenge but please rest assured that there is plenty of effort placed on retaining, motivating and rewarding talent at all levels.

Pros

Everyone is genuinely nice and cares about their jobs. Nice offices, and big corporate backing. Can't really say that the experience was negative but for high acheivers/ ambitious people probably not what you're looking for.

Cons

A ton of bueracracy, there are some many layers of approval that even the simplest things take months to get done. They never take any risks and ideas are very top down. Slow career progression and mediocre salary. Only way to progress is to hope someone in the same position retires or leaves.
