Pros

They are very keen to retain and develop people. Plenty of training and very high standards internally. They will invest in the retention of the best fit people. Tremendous support when you reflect the company values - a lot less if you come with unrealistic demands and a poor understanding of how the business works.

Cons

Senior management structure makes it difficult sometimes to empower more people to make decisions however it guarantees the medically led agenda is preserved. Too cautious at times and can stifle creativity at mid and lower levels. Need to invest a lot more in research and development to bring out the best ideas from the wonderful staff they have.

Pros

There are almost no Pros, the only one maybe being "fruit" Wednesdays, otherwise, we even have to buy our own tea...

Cons

Terrible, horrible management. When you do something wrong, you get reviews and bonuses out, when you do something OK, only a plain "thank you". Salary is very low compared to extreme expectations of your bosses. If I would knew that, I would have never applied there... You get so many work that you dont know where to start, but your TeamLeader does nothing, the same goes for upper management. There is virtualy no chance of salary raise and promotion, as the managements is holding tight their place where they do nothing
