Pros

Flexible, hybrid working, pension options

Cons

Poor leadership and management, mixing their power and roles, very duplicitous behaviours, little value of staff and their abilities, promotion is nepotistic, lot of politics running beneath the surface with a total lack of strategic direction and strategy at all levels.
