Pros

Generally good people to work with in my peer group and below. A well performing company that speaks for itself (in spite of flaws). Decent bonus but below market rates for base pay.

Cons

Company view: Slow decision making, not enough empowerment of staff. Unclear roles /responsibilities/ownership is common. Important for your "face to fit". Distribution of workload uneven. IT systems terrible Team comments: Seems slightly dysfunctional approach to management. My team was very "reactive and tactical" rather than being led in a strategic way. . Hard work and effort doesn't feel valued/properly recognised.
