Pros

Interesting and worthwhile work, some talented and committed colleagues. High profile work with lots of opportunities to network. Good launch pad for a career elsewhere.

Cons

Absolutely no commitment at senior management level to employee engagement, and no understanding of what being a good employer would mean. HR process and practices are unfair and obstructive, with very limited opportunities for lower grades of staff to progress. No actual commitment to (or process for) balancing the commercial needs of the business with the aims of the organisation.

Pros

- Supportive colleagues - Many employees are committed to the 'mission'

Cons

- Embarrassingly poor remuneration levels - Far too much corporate jargon and pointless grandstanding, e.g. restructuring things into 'centres of excellence.'
