Pros

It's a huge company, and there are opportunities to progress.

Interesting work alongside engineering.

In general, some of the best management I've had in my career. It's a business that thinks long term and really cares about employees.

Rather than redundancies in downturns, it tends to be travel bans, voluntary severance, and redeployment.

Bonus scheme is excellent.

Cons

Slow, some IT things in particular get rolled out without consultation and slow us down.

Sometimes it feels like we have four or five different products in the same sector that are all competing against one another. The portfolio could do with some trimming.

Salaries are not world-beating.

Business outlook is mixed due to global challenges.

Advice to Management

Reconsider the UK benefits package. It's not great to not have fully funded healthcare, and the paternity leave offering is below par for similar companies.
