Pros

Great people providing amazing quality of service. Really international feel to the business as many different nationalities employed. Fast pace. Loads of opportunity to develop if you are prepared to put the work in. Growing organisation. Very strong matrix which requires that you build good relationships worldwide. Massive emphasis on medical team and its autonomy to deliver.

Cons

Hours can be long - it's a global company. Pace of change is relentless - been going less than 30 years.

What the company does is great

Cons

No career development HR is not a HR department, they sit in the office talking about employees. Not a true HR function.

What a mistake

Pros

Talented, passionate, great people who are overworked and undervalued as part of a toxic machine, except if you are a mediocre performer with the right connections, who can talk the talk - then you have the opportunity for promotion! A great stepping stone for a period of time. A good opportunity to learn the 101 of what not to do.

Cons

Poor systems and a lack of investment or desire to move forward and progress. Managers and leaders unwilling/ incapable of decision making. HR the worst I’ve encountered. A sorry excuse for a HR function from start to finish. The recruitment process and team is consistently underperforming and is further damaging the business! Benefits are poor for a company as big as it is and are poorly administered. People come and go quickly, it serves a purpose for a period of time, then you realise the grass is greener on the other side. It’s hard to work in and manage a team in an environment of such constant and high churn.
