Pros

An interesting company making products with sustainability benefits Free lunch Good share scheme Overall pretty friendly Some people are really passionate about what they do There is some great talent in the organisation

Cons

Leadership - The top layer of leadership in the organisation is stifling all the good talent beneath them. There is limited room for career development so all of the good people are leaving. I've worked with some incredible people at this organisation - most of whom left due to bad management. It is a real shame as it could be a fantastic place to work if good talent was rewarded.

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.
