Pros

The company has a strong customer focus. It is interesting in the range of services and the variety of markets they service.

Cons

Employees treated like dirt. Very high turnover rate. Management are, for the lack of a better word, mean. Absolutely NO life work balance. They use the excuse of being global to expect you to answer calls and emails any time on the day or night. People work long days and then are expected to do more work at home.

Pros

It is a very large, growing, and highly profitable company. Drives margin at any cost. Pay is pretty good, and it has a good pension scheme.

Cons

Management are very untrustworthy and weak. There is a small gang in London in a holding company who rule like dictators. They way staff are treated by management is very poor. There is no direction or encouragement. Its very muchg a put up or shut up, my way or the highway approach. A very old fashioned culture which is quite unpleasant. The offices are appaulingly bad, 30 year old furniture, dirty carpets, filthy decor, 1970's grey filing cabinets, no air conditioning. Marketing is a particular weekness, with a lack of management extertise in head office and direction, and total absence of budgets and resource.

Pros

I like the company as it is very diverse. There is opportunity for professional growth if the right resources, training and leadership is provided to you.

Cons

There is lack of communication within the company, divisions, teams and functions.There should be one consistent message across the board in regards to processes and procedures. More in-depth training should be provided to new employees and not just computer based on-board training.
