Pros

Nothing much... They have began to run it like a grocery shop. Not fit to be called an MNC. A big AVOID..!!!

Cons

Demotions in the company. Layoffs across board In midst of turmoil, suprisingly pa/ ps of ArB's getting promoted and given responsibilities out of league. Cost cutting... penny wise pound foolish types. Employee forced to take multiple job responsibilities even when they arent fit for the job eventually leading to forced resignation No proper HR to adhere to grievances and everytime you have to visit ArB you have to go through De*** who btw has started to throw weight around... God help the ones in co.

Pros

The benefits aren’t so bad.

Cons

- Incredibly poor leadership - Silo mentality; be prepared to be expected to work against other functions to establish blame rather than working collaboratively to fix problems - Despite the UK business comprising of various acquisitions over the years, the company is awful at doing acquisitions well. Sites still acting as if they’re still former the businesses. No alignment. - Unrealistic expectations - Under-resourcing - Micromanagement by senior leadership I could write a book to be honest. Worst place I’ve worked.
