Pros
Marmite - you either love it or hate it at Tesco Pay is good in head office Opportunities to progress are good - if you are good at your job Treat employees to team days out. Good train links to london central (30mins) lots of International opportunities - I spent a few months in India, Bangalore You will be moved around quickly if you are good. People are nice Calibre of people is very high Great opportunity to learn new skills and new ways of doing things
Cons
Very hard work (Can be quite technical at times, very high volume, requires a very fast pace in turnaround) People are challenging in terms of push back Long hours required People are aggressively managed by peers at all levels WL2-WL4 Not for someone looking for an easy job Little support from peers and very high expectations Many people leave after a few months however some people thrive in the environment Systems dont work too great Challenges around working with the Bangalore team where the capability of staff is lower, environment has less urgency and culture tolerates errors. Location of HQ is poor, it is on an old industrial estate where there is a high crime rate in local area and nowhere to eat outside and canteen food is not good. Difficult to get to work level 3 if you are a WL2 and difficult to get to WL4 if you are WL3 - political
