Pros

Hard to think of any. Work life balance isn't too bad, holiday policy is moderately generous and the hours per week is better than average.

Cons

Company has no idea where it is going, how to get there and what to do when it arrives. They have outsourced and off shored all the core parts of the business. Things are designed, made, repaired, supported and the whole IT system is run by other companies. The company is just a rudderless shell that is drifting on the tide. Internally the company is known as "Bad Decision" or "Bad Design". There is a consensus or paralysis, within the business. Meetings are a joke, dozens of people turn up late, there is never an agenda, the same topics as the last meeting are discussed, no one takes a decision and if they do it's only a reversal of the last one, there are no action items and no minutes. The whole process is repeated at the next meeting and nothing happens.

Pros

There really aren't any. Incredibly toxic culture all the way down. BD used to be a great and supportive place to work but that is no more.

Cons

Very toxic culture. Management all the way down is either abusive or or flat out incompetent. We are told to essentially ignore our own code of conduct policies and ethics to the point where all qualified and competent performers have been run off by tyrant middle managers who can essentially do whatever they want or being saddled with the work of 3 people. You will not be valued here. The morale is at bottom and everyone is looking to leave the sinking ship.
