Not the best

Pros

- good group benefits, ie pension, holidays etc… - message from the top promoted career growth and opportunities across the group

Cons

- leadership within the team lacks basic people management skills, often visibly stressed which filters to the team - expectations of overtime, particularly around quarter end / year end which often isn’t “given back” - internal promotions seem to be put off in favour of external hires

Pros

They pay your salary on time

Cons

If you read all the negative reviews here, they are 100% on point and will give you a good sense of what it’s was like to be here. To summarise: - low bonuses and pay (ahh sorry we didn’t hit our target this year either) - minimal opportunity to move up (sorry you have to try harder, but just be happy you get to keep your job) - too much emphasis on face time and being in office (big brother is always watching) - limited freedom in your role (do as we tell you!) - hierarchal / inflexible / bureaucratic (never try to shine) Basically you are here to increase the share price so those at the top get a big payout at the expense of you getting a tiny incremental increase every year on your base. They can’t grow the business so they increase margins at your expense.
