Pros

Salary is good and nice head office.

Cons

A very poor organisation with a toxic culture. Although there are some good people, the vast majority have disgraceful work practices. Poor management is to blame and a culture of nepotism. Poor planning leads to projects not being completed and a thuglike mentality from senior directors. Directors are ruthless and fabricate stories as a Way of life.
