Pros
- Brilliant benefits & salary - Some great people and teams to work with
Cons
- Promotion/progression often based on who you know, and who people are friends with high up... rather than capability - Long working hours regularly needed due to lack of resource & infinite last-minute, unorganised projects - Money wasted on silly things, rather than getting the basics right first i.e. fixing a very poor ecommerce website - Slow & frustrating HR & IT processes (waiting over 6 months for an agreed salary increase or promotion to be actioned is the norm. New joiners being without a laptop for weeks.) - Senior management pay no mind to anyone more than a grade below them. Very different culture to when a few years ago, where the senior managers knew everyone, and socialised with the team regularly.
