Pros

Good pay and benefits. Work/life balance is good and overtime & annual leave are very competitive. Also get a good amount of training early on in career. There is a desire to keep employees within the company.

Cons

Too much middle management structure. Managers contribute very little to the business and are more concerned about their performance metrics and how they are perceived by their peers. Severe lack of flexibility, innovation and ambition within the company which decreases staff motivation, narrows job responsibility and inhibits diverse development opportunities. Due to the good pay/benefits, people who are unhappy with their job become reluctant to leave.

Pros

Solid career paths; great people, enjoyable place to work. Lots of opportunities to move teams and departments. Great Brighton location; working On the south coast is a nice alternative to London

Cons

Large company mentality, slow to change and adapt or innovate. A lot of bureaucracy and processes. Frustrating pathways for change, slow, need some aspects to be brought into the present day.

Pros

Most of people were great and if you worked hard and took on experience you were given respect. Chance to progress if you wanted it.

Cons

Some managers had their own agendas and at times you were not listened to. Management not good at giving praise and expectation of taking on additional work without sharing the workload across teams.
