Pros

Generally the people are really nice, friendly and supportive colleagues. Organisation transformed in recent years with restructuring and stronger strategy into a profit making organisation. Good pension and flexible benefit schemes. Nice offices and good catering facilities.

Cons

Bullying by line managers who are not suited to their position through their character, being unskilled or badly self developed. Japanese, Heads of Department who have little proficiency in the English language, have no understanding of what is taking place within their team. Nice but not fit for a position where they have responsibility for people. Failure in duty of care. Employee survey results are ignored/hidden by management in teams where real issues exist with management. Employees then decide there is no point in completing the survey as the results are not taken seriously and no action is taken to improve. Employees scared to be open about the management issues out with the anonymity of the survey as concerned their position will be compromised. HR pleasant and try and support but questionable what power/effectiveness they have and what action is being taken to address cases of bullying and poor people managers.
