Pros

People are friendly and it is interesting work

Cons

Do not reward hard working staff. You are not guaranteed a bonus at the end of the year no matter how hard you try. Very hard to move through bands. Moral of company is the worst its ever been. Hiring people on 12 month contracts only. No extention or permancy. When the time of other staff who train them up is wasted as they are gone by the 12 months. Hr make a habit of changing rules wothout communicating it to the company . E.g pensions . Alot of staff have left in the last year alone roughly 20%. But nothing is been done to keep the staff. (Experienced staff) but hey it will be covered by graduates and new 12 month contract staff!!!!!! Over worked and under appreciated and under paid.

Pros

Large variation of work and chance to work on innovative projects

Cons

The company have been making changes to pensions, how the bonus structure works and other areas. Newer staff will be on different benefits to existing staff. Be aware and question all of the benefits offered or discussed at an interview, some of them may not apply for a few years, for example annual salary review. Over the last few months a lot of staff have left, meaning there are few people left with the workload. There seems to be a practice when someone leaves a role that it will be advertised as a lower band, meaning you’ll be doing the exact role as the person before you, but for less.
