Pros
Made some good friends there, excellent canteen staff doing the best they can
Cons
To take a job at Pimlico you must be prepared to completely surrender your independence. You will be monitored throughout your working day by CCTV cameras and will have screenshots sent to you if senior management feel you are not up to scratch. There is a toxic workplace culture of what worked in the 1980's still works today, there is very little diversity within the business and there is active discrimination within the recruitment process. Please note I do not blame the recruitment and HR department for this as they are just following orders. You are given very little sense of job satisfaction and if you have not worked your way into the popular crowd you are left feeling unwanted and disheartened. Annual leave entitlement is the bare minimum and your break times during the working day are very regimented (some departments have break times written up on the wall every day). There is more than can be discussed but I think this review should give you enough of an insight into what a toxic organisation this is.
