Pros

Good pay, great share save plan. If you are a graduate worth applying as you could go far.

Cons

Management are poor at managing staff effectively, if your face fit you can do what you want and even get praised for it. If your face does not fit you will get NO praise what so ever.

Terrible experience from day one

Pros

Pays very well, some very bright people, opportunity to advance if your face fits, major change underway which should modernise the organisation eventually.

Cons

Political, non-existent induction (most staff acknowledged their own experience was the worse on-boarding they'd had), hierarchical, lack of openness, people are promoted very early if they're singled out for greatness. Many internal systems don't function effectively, constant frustration and contact required to get the simplest thing done. The company expect rapid, high quality delivery in an environment that does not support or facilitate, or constantly reacts to redirects focus. Finally if you don't work in Warwick, you’ll feel very distant from the organisation.
