Pros

- Good UK Pension plan - Some people are great to work with

Cons

- Constant change and restructuring - Complete divide and mistrust between leadership and everyone else - Low salaries - New job titles are demotivating and don't make any sense - The above mean good people will/are leaving and more will follow (used to be a great place to work, not anymore)

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
