Pros

The company brand is great. It sells itself. Great benefits only. If you interested in retiring there, it is a good company to work for.

Cons

Basic pay is very low. Feels like they exploit employees. There have moved most of their work to countries out of the U.K, To pay lower wages. Leadership is really bad. They only think about themselves and make you work doubly hard for nothing. Senior leadership 'work from home'. They don't believe that leadership must be seen not heard. Rather it must be heard NOT seen. Lol. The leadership will bring this company down not its products.
