Pros
Some really nice people and a flexible, low-target way of working which makes a comfortable, relaxed environment (but also a workforce who get away with murder at times). They provide fruit, host regular parties and have table tennis, pool etc... It’s a good place for people who don’t want to be pushed too hard or who don’t want to have to work long hours.
Cons
There is no set structure and every department decides their own rules, which creates a real mess and prevents collaboration. Management is very top heavy and is promotion is achieved based on tenure, ambition and bright ideas count for nothing. They never hire senior people externally and promote yes-men from within so there is no new ideas. Ongoing support and training doesn’t exist - onboarding is just months and months of videos and classroom lectures without a follow up.
