Pros

free coke in fridges, and a free team lunch every week - so you can complain with your friends while 'in the office'

Cons

management all promoted internally - anyone who has a choice will leave and the left-overs - tall, thin, hard blonde women and committed brown-noses become managers thrusting 1980's carrot and stick management style means alcohol and cheap weekends away plus lots of performance reviews leading to dismissal if you go for an interview, ensure you ask what the staff turnover is. The truthful answer is a horrific 40%, they all know that but will lie to you. bear in mind that some people have 10 years service, so you can do the numbers, most new starters last less than a year unethical - they charge based on what they can get away with so some customers pay 10 times more for the same product ps - beware the odd 4-star review on this site, obviously faked by management

Pros

Decent salary & benefits, monthly no internal meeting days

Cons

Friendly reminder that HR does not care about you. They care about staff with seniority, whom they will allow to retaliate despite that being against company policies. Think twice about reporting the higher ups because it will come back to haunt you, guaranteed. Also, AI is the only thing that matters anymore. Watching the volume of once-impressive colleagues become so single and simple minded through constant AI usage is not only disappointing but genuinely alarming. Thinking for oneself is no longer the standard, it seems, and speaking against such unfettered use of AI in all things will get you professionally ostracized.
