Pros

-Good work life balance -Lots of extra money to be made with over time -Brilliant brand with brilliant vehicles -Lots of opportunities in an rapidly growing company -Graduates are thrown in at the deep end and trusted- many promoted early -The pressure creates some good camaraderie

Cons

-Archaic management still hearted in the middle management of manufacturing- can't stunt progress -Trade unions hold too much power- and un-skilled employees hold too much much power- means creating change is slow -Silos between departments and technologies are large and can be a struggle to engage teams as people have there own priorities -Eternal battle of quality vs Quantity -Silly rules stifle talent from progressing as managers continuously block the best people from moving round the business- forces people to quit.

Pros

Good rewards (especially management car scheme) Good work-life balance. Have come an extremely long way in last decade. Great Products. Interesting challenges. Fantastic CSR pedigree. Amazing sense of resilience and when the chips are down, fantastic fighting spirit. The organisation has massive potential, and there are some really talented, brilliant people. There's a lot of commitment to change. Genuine opportunities to get involved, learn and make a difference. Growing international presence.

Cons

Predominant culture is not 'can do' . Tendency to over-process, over-analyse everything. Very 'black/white' and wedded to structures. Too much individualism, hoarding of work and information. Far too much reliance on senior management to get things done. Very hierarchical and functional. Tendency to focus on the symptoms and immediate issues/noise rather than root causes; likewise, tendency to focus on short term, incremental changes where major transformation required. Traditional view of 'work' common throughout the organisation, which involves being at a desk or being in meetings. Much more comfortable with fire-fighting than planning.
