Pros

Beautiful Working sites and buildings all around London. Some sites provide great Staff food (very few though). Easy and low (to miniscule) business in general. Weekends off and Corporate like schedules.

Cons

"one bad apple can make the whole basket rot" ... Like all teams everywhere in the world and areas all over. There are pros and cons. But this year and a half in this company really takes the cake for cons. Most staff, (from my experience and questioning colleagues from various sites), are laid back and do not ever want to go the "extra mile". No care for upstanding standards or small simple improvements. The less you do the better. This is literally the work culture of everyone around. If you try and improve something (for all) or simply to share knowledge of LQA or WSET standards for example, you are shunned upon. Management doesn't make efforts to change after being shown time and again unacceptable behaviours: (hiding in the bathroom during shift. Or taking beverages and food from stock.)

Pros

Big company with lots of opportunities to grow and do different things.

Cons

With that size things sometimes move slowly. The culture was not as advertised as top employers. It was toxic at times.
