Pros

work life balance is good - many people work from home.

Cons

- talk of big ambitions but lacking the will to break with a "clubby" past and reward/penalize based - on merit - very political, low levels of trust between senior and middle management - has talked of becoming international for some time but highly UK centric - would prefer if "they" could be more like "us" - technology and HR (talent management) are shockingly poor, even for a large organization
