Pros

Working for the company in the past was a very good way to learn about the industry

Cons

The metals division has been neglected with antiquated processes in place and no chance of them being rectified soon. The mid to senior management is not chosen on merit but on an "buddy system". As one reviewer mentioned there is absolutely no incentive to work extra hard because at the end of the day all you get is pat on the back.

Pros

Good place to learn part of the sector, however the increasingly lack of a joined up view will hold careers back It used to be an extremely good company and there are still a lot of very good people

Cons

Too few staff Low morale Increasingly toxic work culture as people tried to hide from work and scarce resources are shared out on an increasingly political basis Increasingly silo-ized Totally inept staff tolerated and promoted because of the work they churn out, while good staff who actually bother to figure out their subject sidelined because they refuse to churn. Staff turnover, which has traditionally been below industry levels, is now at very high levels Lack of promotion for good staff Increasingly political managements - is rapidly heading towards a point of fiddling while Rome burns Increasingly serious holes in coverage

Pros

Friendly culture, excellent vacation plan, lots of smart people, decent work/life balance. Can be a fun place to work if you are associated with the high growth/focus products and services.

Cons

The private equity owners are pushing for strong growth leading to changes in the 'friendly' culture. Company employs about 1000 people. It can be good place to work if you are associated with the right products/services, i.e those that the company is spending $$$ on and thus have a relatively bright future.
