A lot of people who trust each other aiming towards the same goals with a belief.

Business Outlook

Pros

Global by definition. Trying hard to change. Family time is important. Sslaries are average. Jobs are good for steady employment but not for aggressive styles and aggressive growth. Good benefits but compensation average. Trying to be a social company with donations etc.People are treated decently but diificult to communicate upwards..

Cons

Poor and not very clean work environment. Some structures are same for last 50 years. Factory is trying to become modern but will take 10 years. Management is not easily accessible. Overall old style of bureaucracy. Black people don't get a chance because of british culture.

Business Outlook

Pros

It seems like a place that values knowledge, learning, and employee development. Additionally, there are quite a few 20-somethings and 30-somethings.

Cons

The usual downsides of working at a large corporation -- inefficiencies here and there.
