Pros

Pay is above average, but completely not worth it.

Cons

Management is completely lost. Favoritism exists everywhere but this place is the absolute worst at showing it and not caring who knows. Departments and shifts fight consistantly and department heads and shift heads do not get along. This company cares nothing for its employees. Super long hours with unrealistic expectations and no credit given to those who actually deserve it. Leadership treats the employees like slaves with zero acknowledgement of circumstances. Talks about issues but does nothing effectively to fix issues. High turnover in every department causing issues of long stretches of days worked. If you want a life outside of work, dont work here. This place makes yogurt, not sense...and it doesn't take long before you realize that this is their motto. All the company cares about is how far they can push the employees. They preach to be safe and stress free then ask for expectations that don't allow for either. It won't be long and someone will be seriously injured here due to issues that are overlooked until they are a serious problem.

Pros

Interesting work, good pay and benefits. Opportunities to travel. Inspiring mission and vision. Some really great colleagues if you look hard enough.

Cons

Culture great if you’re young, free and single - not good if you have any other commitments. Best to be French if you’re really ambitious. Likes to think it is a flexible place to work but they don’t seem to have any idea about how to analyse a job role resulting in most people working much longer hours than they are paid for. Some of the businesses are held together by interns and the level of expertise and maturity in business decisions are alarming. Quite surprised that more people don’t leave with stress - perhaps this is why the teams are quite young - older people burn out and leave. Generally there is quite an Inconsistency in the treatment of people - some people are looked after much better than others. Too many public school educated, white upper middle class people employed - not at all representative of the UK.

Pros

Great PTO, Generous salary, inspired mission statement

Cons

Lacking employee support from HR partner. HR did not provide training for new roll. HR used the merger to fire older employees to hire under 35 yrs old. Very cutthroat and political in open office. Too many cliques. Bullying by manager and HR.
