Pros

Salary, health insurance, pension scheme, bonus, canteen, overtimes, nice people, good place to get experience

Cons

Work Overload, very poor management, no respect for employees, target driven culture, double standards, blame culture. "Never let your teammate fail" is just a sentence, nothing else. "It's Not What You Know. It's Who You Know" can describe your chance for promotion or permanent contract, no educational support, management never listened experienced employees, they knew better, quality avoiding decision making. Very bad training process, MFG support people with no knowledge about the process - mostly graduates. No support for volunteers, I had to book holidays to participate charity event over the weekend. No perspective, after 4 yrs and successful campaign of new product we were replaced by more experienced staff from other areas and moved to Warehouse with immediate effect. I got really good experience there but left because of frustration. Avoid this place.

Pros

Decent work life balance and benefits package. A nice place to work in the short term but not one for settling into.

Cons

Continuous restructuring over a 10 year period , constant insecure feeling that you could loose your job. Four Managing Directors in that time all tasked with a major restructure activity and then all leaving UK to go to US head office.
