Pros
Some good people still working at the company. Salary & benefits can be competitive.
Cons
Total lack of direction from leadership figures, no UK identity or clarity around corporate strategy. Over the past 2 years there has been the occasional cascade of ill-defined/informed corporate strategies that are not backed nor enabled, such strategies seem to be dreamt up and then forgotten about (almost as though documenting them in a presentation is all that is needed for success). Constant merry-go-round of senior management figures who take ownership of an area, do very little and move on, or swap responsibilities as part of yet another re-structure (again as though restructuring somehow indicates progress). Senior team often not accountable for decisions and seem to simply move roles when things don't as planned. Constantly chasing new business, but currently so far behind the technical curve, the teams that are chasing the work have often never actually used the technology in scope. No strategy around new business, every project creates new assets leading to constant inconsistencies and huge in-efficiencies. No willingness to invest internally with no view to acquire new business through good practice, leadership only willing to sanction bids with big numbers that inevitably fail, hoping that the company can play catch up if a new business opportunity lands, rather than building capability that can subsequently win and execute such work. No technical leadership. Archaic hierarchy and structure means strategies and process (if they existed) need to be broad and all encompassing. No willingness to grant local autonomy that would overtime encourage broad synergies, as this would threaten the hierarchical management verticals.
