Pros

nothing good to say about this place. may be the number of holidays.

Cons

too many hierarchies. cant have a promotion unless the one above you quits or dies hikes- dont kid bonus - depends on how much you've polished your boss's boots training - is there any? other than the usual values and risks - jeez let me tell you.. i wasnt involved in pilfering the millions or the PPIs.. why thrust values in my throat...

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
