Pros

Good work life balance. Lots of opportunities to move internally. Good if you get made redundant, they help you find a new role while continuing to pay you

Cons

Say you get a yearly pay increase but the most I’ve heard people get is 1%. Only get statutory maternity leave. If you want to move internally some managers don’t like it so you feel like you can’t apply for jobs. Constantly making redundancies. Pretend to care about the employees but do nothing to make people want to stay

Pros

Strong Leadership, Fair/Average compensation, Thrive Program (company strives to keep you employeed as Sponsor reallocations occur)

Cons

HR is very hands off. It is very difficult to speak to anyone. Not simple to call and ask a question. Everything has to go through a portal. This is challenging when there is time sensitive needs. They make it work but in my opinion, this is a 'con'.
