Pros

Good pension If you want to coast through a role for 10+ years this place is for you. They’ll never manage anyone out of the business or challenge/make changes to organisation Subsidised canteen Pretty much 9-5

Cons

HR scared to take any action against under performing or mis-managed people Management don’t have a clue what’s going on Interview process out dated Said they’re ready for change but show zero intention of investing in new technology Old, bored processes Rude, unacceptable workforce (mismanaged during redundancy but kept on the pay roll with a retention bonus though don’t contribute to anything but bullying and giving grief)

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.
