Pros

- People oriented - Great, energetic working environment, office has a 'buzz' of energy which is infectious - Absolute focus on cultivating a culture of safety, openness, honesty and integrity - Leadership ethos that a working environment can equally be fun as well as professional, productive/effective. - Key Drivers - 'Leadership Capability', 'Talent Management', 'Service Performance' & 'Customer Service'. - On the whole 'walks the talk'

Cons

- Its' not all rosy, there are without doubt challenges, inconsistency in leadership capabilities throughout the teams & of course room for improvement - Long working hours - Compensation doesn't appear to move with the market - Too much change - change fatigue is very evident throughout the centre although this is improving - Consistently changing strategy driven by head office, which seems to be at odds with the centre's values & original ambitions. The only constant is change! - US/UK Senior Leadership Perception (not data driven) of limited talent & capabilities.

Pros

The benefits are good. Open office space. Good employees on the most part. Good location. Chance for global relocation (whether you want it or not).

Cons

Company has lost its direction, and is no longer an innovator, except in cost cutting and reorganization. Senior Management's job appears to be managing-up to the next level of management in order to position themselves for the next reorganization. Recent leadership change in R&D more likely to lead to even more of the same.
