Pros

The brands, flexy working etc

Cons

-HR processes are unbelievably weak -Leadership standards -Employee Engagement (verified by dismal (and decreasing) internal engagement survey) -Direction (there is a re-org every two years resulting in talent flush outs, and no one left to do the job afterwards) -Pay is average at best -Actively discriminates against males (another great HR process to hire more females) .... ugh i could go on.
