Pros

Huge wealth of training materials.

Certification budget.

Standard holiday allowance.

Some great people to work with.

Cons

Little cog in a big machine, for sure. A lot of emphasis on hitting utilization targets, and you can sometimes find yourself on toxic projects that you are fielded out to. Payouts are nonexistent unless you get a promotion. No real benefits to speak of.

Advice to Management

Work on getting your people the assistance they need.

Offer pay rises rather than locking them to arbitrary promotion structures.

Get an actual benefit package in place.
