Pros

The co workers are wonderful, sympathetic people. No one hides the fact that the working conditions are ridiculously stressful, and the only thing which matters is the amount of money that the company makes.

Cons

Revenue, revenue, revenue. Cost cutting, staff cutting, cut backs, save save save. Some offices make you send an email request everytime you need as much as a pen. Overkill!

Pros

Opportunities abound - if you want to them.

Cons

Cultural shift since 2011 - totally focused on the finances and share price (check out the CEOs remuneration...) has transformed the company from a quality organisation to one that is only just papering over the cracks.
