Pros

They hire really talented people They do some really interesting work There is an ethos of doing ethical, meaningful work - which everyone buys into. Generally good team and inter-team working

Cons

Has become a political minefield Senior Management attrition has left the organisation perilously weak and fractured HR function is arguably the least competent function in the business
