Pros

Junior and middle management have great ethics, morals and principles which drive them to do the best they can

Cons

That last 12 months it has evolved into an ‘old boys club’ where senior management only employ like minded individuals who they’ve worked with in the past. It’s a closed culture of white middle aged men who support a bullying oppressive culture but have no idea why this is an issue. Employees are too scared to speak out due to the fear of being on someone’s hit list, essentially if you tow the line, don’t question authority and are based in London bringing in money ie as a sales person they you are indispensable. There is no transparency and the standard answer when questioned over areas with inconsistency over salary reviews is ‘it’s my decision and I don’t have to explain it to you’. Employees are leaving in significant numbers which has got to be undermining the success of the company but no one at senior management level seems to care. Avoid to all costs unless you are thick skinned and are driven by status and money.
