Pros

Great share scheme, decent pension. FTSE100 looks good on your CV if people have heard of them! Some of the technology is interesting if like that sort of thing.

Cons

Internally focused. If you are not an accountant or a chemist forget any career or personal development. Lack of expertise outside of chemistry and accounting. Very silo'd. Poor brand. Behind the times. Lacking in project management and implementation skills. IT very poor. Could be another giant about to fall.

Pros

If you are lazy, this is the place for you

Cons

If you are somewhat competent, don’t worry, management doesn’t care. Employees are part of their politics game. From orders delay to customer complaints, management’s resolutions are to put in more tedious complicated system and lay off actual workers. Constant restructuring every 6 months with no idea what they want. Base pay is below average. Not sure why investors are still investing and why customers are still buying. I would give 0 star if I can.
