Pros

Great office, great managers, hybrid working, lots of collaboration, ownership structure that doesn't mean redundancies as often as rivals. Much fairer pay rises than rivals.

Cons

Don't recognise union representation but you can join one.

Pros

As already mentioned pension is good. The wages are actually decent too for the industry. You might also meet one or two nice people working there. Depending on your role you might even get to work on some interesting things. It will also give you good experience for your CV if you are just starting out.

Cons

So here’s the thing, and it’s nothing new to what’s been mentioned in other reviews…Lots of office politics - yep. Cliques - yep. Lack of growth opportunities- yep. My experience of working there was negative for a variety of reasons, so I wouldn’t recommend even in this tough job climate. But of course everyone is different and some people do actually thrive there.
