      Pros

      Large company with plenty of opportunities in the U.K. and abroad. Willing to invest in staff and assist career progression.

      Cons

      Annual job cuts, over worked staff and pay below market average. Increasing red tape makes it more difficult to do the day to day job

      Many problems, huge company, great experience

      Pros

      The work-life balance was superb, the team were great, the work was interesting and the stakeholders were demanding but fair. Overall the culture is strong - perhaps too strong at times, being inflexible in places - and, despite it being extremely challenging at times, it was an experience I will remember fondly for years to come.

      Cons

      The pressure on the business (not in the Communications world) was overwhelming for many and the regulatory strain is evident in some people's behaviour. The company is quite restricted (in terms of being able to grow at the rate it plans to) by the regulations in place and the DPA it operates under, and, while I was there, the turnover of employees in key roles made it difficult to have any kind of continuity to drive some of the large programmes. All of that said, if you want a good challenge, are willing to work hard to reap the rewards and have resilience, all of this will pale into insignificance.
