      Cons

      most managers have an 'a' team and a 'b' team ... if you're not on the 'a' team, working ilfe can be very different...you can miss out on opportuntiies. few managers have the patience to support you if you're doing it tough as they are under immense pressure to deliver themselves depends on your manager - some managers don't live the values at all and suffer no consequences

      Pros

      Excellent atmosphere, spirited workforce, lots of candidness and good vibes. Many chances to make friends not just work colleagues due to out-of-work activities and parties / celebrations. Realistic opportunities to work abroad across the 5 continents with huge international and multicultural exposure. Good non-hierarchical speak-up culture where all can be discussed.

      Cons

      Certain tendency to favor Scottish or Anglo-Saxon backgrounds in favor of other cultures when appointing roles. Decision making slow and not very fact-based. Easy going attitude and behavior is encouraged ahead of analytical rigour or solid knowledge, which makes it a paradise for politics and mediocre individuals sometimes making it up to senior management based just on loyalty, not qualifications or merits. Target setting quite inconsistent, contradictory and last minute, and changing constantly. Lately obsessed with cost, again with inconsistent and too simplistic approach
