Too slow, they aren't making the most of people
Pros
Friendly environment, nice office and canteen, lots of training on offer, interesting and high quality projects. Flexible working and good benefits.
Cons
The company is trying to be more innovative and to move faster. However, I am sceptical this will work, I've been here for a few years and it's just not in the culture. Too much time is spent on strategies and workshops and taking decisions by committee but there's no ability to just get on and make stuff happen. They have tried to become more diverse by promoting a couple of women into senior management. This is fine, but there's still no diversity of actual background or thought. A lot of people with the more interesting ideas and approaches have left or have not been promoted so will probably leave. I also see women who have kids then don't get promoted and eventually leave. It's a bit of a 'yes-man' culture where you get more points for agreeing with the CEO than suggesting alternative views. Because it's a slow moving business it is missing out on commercial opportunities. Development projects stall in spite of good teams becuase external factors shift while we go through yet more internal reviews and changes.
