      Pros

      Competative salaries, flexible working hours/days. Reasonable work/life balance. With numerous flex days and 3 weeks vacation, you get paid well and have the personal time to enjoy your money.

      Cons

      You better get paod well and have time off because you'll need it! The physical working environment is horrible as there are no assigned desks. Every day you have to find a new spot and then pack up and vacate ate the end of the day. The internal job posting system is a formaility only as promotions go to friends. your career opportunities are based soley on your relationship with upper management. Core values for this company are promoting friends and gaining personal wealth.

      Pros

      Above average work life balance, very large projects and systems, highly prestigious brand name. Very good pay scale. A large network of talented international staff to draw upon.

      Cons

      All IT has moved to India so extremely limited career growth potential. Government level bureaucracy. Very limited options with global corporate policies removing any real decisions

      Pros

      Worked at Bacton gas terminal for 10 years plus. There have been lots of ups and downs in the energy sector but my job has never been at threat. Some very nice people here. Pay rates are very good for east anglia.

      Cons

      Certain employees on the same pay as me, are less qualified. I think safety at Bacton is poor. Seems great to the untrained eye, but scratch the surface and its appalling. Contractors working on site get away with, so, so much, they don’t get challenged. If you do challenge them you’re not supported by management. Something’s very wrong, shame because you just can’t respect senior management for letting it go.
