      Pros

      Great benefits and employee support in London Headquarters - staff canteen, building, gym, 6 weeks holiday, pension plan, and corporate responsibility

      Cons

      As per the headline, it's just too big and too retail-focused to be able to make changes quickly. Because of the size, there's also a lot of stakeholder management and politics -- meaning it takes a strong communicator and self-promoter to thrive.
