Pros

1. Interesting work making vital health care products. Latitude to run shift your way. 2. Good benefits and bonus.

When interviewing, I was told that there are many opportunities for advancement. After a couple years, I asked about advancement opportunities and was told to seek elsewhere for that. So I did and quit.

It's a good ole boys network for sure / Lots of short term thinking There is a sort of up or out philosophy which make for a less diverse work force

Pros

Please note, the department where I was working has been made redundant, so the review I am giving only reflects a previous situation. Nice company culture in friendly atmosphere with good facilities. Work shift gives possibility to avoid the worst of traffic, spacious desk, nice colleagues. Good benefits such as healthcare, pension scheme and good salary

Cons

Some possibilities for career growth, but not too many. Colleagues that don't contribute are not always reprimanded, which is frustrating for those who really try to do their best.

Poor work-life balance, lack of direction, constant change of direction

Large disconnect between levels of the company and people are more focused on themselves then the product or the people they work with.
