      Pros

      Benefits, Brand Name, Global Company

      Cons

      Awful local management is compounded by even worse over arching management in the UK. Nothing is accomplished without 5+ sign offs by Directors and MDs. Advancement is based more on sucking up then achievement. Overall people are extremely unhappy, with the best employees leaving as soon as they can.
