Pros

Reasonable pay and bonus, allow limited flexible working.

If you like work that will not engage your brain and stretch you, then you have come to the right place.

Decent canteen.

Cons

Promotion is based on who you know, not what you know.

Very much the school of “if it ain’t broke, why fix it,” with fresh ideas from external hires generally ignored.

Middle management and some senior management are out of their depth and often made up of staff promoted beyond their capability.

Work is not challenging – it is mind-numbing and dull. Requests for more challenging work are ignored.

Management have no comprehension of the skills and experience of staff working with them and make no attempt to try to understand.

Advice to Management

Hire decent middle management and allocate work aligned to the skills and experience of staff.
