Pros

Pays over average, no benefits bullshitting. Safe position. Great flexibility if you have family: flexible hours, occasional home office possibility, option for part time. Diversity in every sense.

Cons

As for feedback and improvement ideas: full force against such from management. First nobody wants to improve things. Then, if somebody wants so, nobody listens. Then if somebody listens, nothing happens. What finally may happen is that they tell you to shut up and work; unless there is scandal. When scandal comes, managers start to push responsibility downwards. Technology: there are new technologies but since nobody has the view on those, they work worse than old ones. Bureaucracy: impossible to achieve any goal in the time frame it would make sense. Not complaining about 3 days instead of 2... but more than a year instead of less than a month?! Internal tooling unusable. Talent retention: it's considered something that HR must solve alone, quickly and possibly without expense. What we get is an insult from employee perspective. Environment: the office is _dirty._

Pros

Good People Opportunity to Learn In Transition

Cons

All people and no process Bunch of tools and technologies, hardly utilized Short term savings can be understood, however if the company is trying to copy UK entities then we are bound to fail. Looks like UK is a mediocre example to emulate when we should be looking at the best. No offense towards colleagues abroad.
