Pros

Not many. Some stability due to it being a FTSE 100 company.

Cons

If your face doesn't fit you wont go far. Management promote internally those whom are incapable in their current roles and dont know what to do with them. Sales staff whom cannot sell are rewarded with bulletproof remuneration. Toxic culture where if you speak up to challenge a situation you are destined to never progress.

Pros

Good group of people in local office.

Cons

Stuck in the past. Unwilling to consider updating methods or procedures. "We've done it this way for 30 years and it has worked." Sales relies upon project engineers to do most of their work for them. When volume of work is slow that becomes the engineers responsibility to go find new clients. Can't reliably pay the most basic of utility bills on time. I've seen the power cut off 2x and the gas this past winter.
