      Pros

      Nice environment, free break fast, beautiful buildings to work in.

      Can't stress the politics around managers. They are horrible and think they are God. Agree not all of them are like this but most of them are.

      Advice to Management

      Managers need more training to see their employees as not just resources.

      Pay rises aren't in line with market. Doing multiple peoples jobs is usual.
