Pros

Great opportunity to develop

Cons

No work life balance. MANAGERS could stress you out to the maximum, not prepared to listen.

Pros

Not many anymore. Benefits package includes buy/sell holidays, healthcare, pension scheme. Shares scheme. Can't think of anything else!

Cons

Job security - so many departments have been offshored, also migrating to Birmingham. Communication is not transparent, job adverts are often misleading. Due to constant cost cutting invoked from the top, salaries are not great and the bonus scheme is not consistent across all areas. The expectation to often work extra hours, and pressure to always do more than your set tasks = no work/life balance

Pros

Nothing as such other then they give good hike approx 10 to 15%. Variable pay is on and above your CTC.

Cons

1. Hopeless management infact no management at all. 2. They can fire anyone even the person who joined them couple of months back and not on performance basis. Just to meet target for there so called cost cutting. They did it recently and will be doing on regular basis. 3. Older employees treat new comers very badly. No metter how much experience you have and how senior you are. 4. None of the older employees wants to work they delegate all there work to vendors and treat them like vendors are there slaves.
