Cons

Where do I begin? There is absolutely no interest from management to help anyone progress your career, unless you are 'in' with particular people. They will axe staff that are very talented just to hire someone at a more junior level just to save a few quid, even though I know they are now struggling. There is a culture of continuous cost-cutting since being taken over by TA et al. Some of the more senior management act as if they are god-like entities. There is a clear lack of direction or focus on business decisions, to the point they speak huge amounts of money on a specific system, to replace it for a system just as expensive a year later. Avoid.
