Pros

Working for a FTSE 100 will look good on the CV. I think that is all I can say here

Cons

I worked in the leatherhead office. It was by far the worst run work places I have. There is absolutely no structure of how to do things it's just go. The training was almost minimal. Also no team bonding everyone seems to be split up into factions all fighting against each other. Very top heavy: they do not really care for the people working at the bottom who actually drive the business. If you think I'm just ranting I was there for 6 months and I saw about 10 move on the other companies. Also the location is abysmal, just off the j9 of the m25, hell would be easier to get to.

Pros

Good group of people in local office.

Cons

Stuck in the past. Unwilling to consider updating methods or procedures. "We've done it this way for 30 years and it has worked." Sales relies upon project engineers to do most of their work for them. When volume of work is slow that becomes the engineers responsibility to go find new clients. Can't reliably pay the most basic of utility bills on time. I've seen the power cut off 2x and the gas this past winter.
