Pros

The people there are okay. Easy to talk to/get along with. The benefits are reasonable with healthcare and eye tests included.

Cons

Management is very inept and incompetent at all levels. No career progression, job roles arfe very dull and limited. The management are pen pushers who work to statistics and numbers without considering anything else. As long as all their figures are in place then nothing else matters. Most of the team leaders cannot lead seeing as they don't know anything about the job that the team is doing (especially the technical roles). I think this is common with a lot of offices in the UK - management are piss poor at best.

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
