Pros

- Get paid on time - Nice car park - Free water

Cons

- Can’t leave ‘on time’ without getting glared at - very very old fashioned ways of working - very structured promotion pathways, based on time served rather than accomplishments. - fixed holidays with zero flexibility but expectation for you to be flexible and work outside contracted hours. - Not a very diverse or inclusive work environment

Pros

Got a nice lake, ducks are friendly. People are typically good.

Cons

The shear arrogance! A company which values those who can wear a suit and know how to make a snazzy PowerPoint than anyone with any passion, technical ability or innovative Ideas. An upper management more concerned with touring customers and the press around the now tired, aging and frankly unimpressive factory, than actually getting the job done well and innovating. An us and them mentality, between the shop floor and office which breeds contempt from both sides. A frankly incredibly lax attitude towards safety, with the near miss quota missing the point by focusing on the trivial while real issues need addressing, like the air quality for example.
