Pros

Good discount Talented and committed mid level workforce

Cons

Toxic head office environment where all team members are expected to work above and beyond for little acknowledgement or reward. This includes very long working days, checking emails on holiday, weekends, with absolutely no respect for a work life balance. Employees wellbeing is not of importance, with many teams extremely stressed, depressed and hating their jobs. This is well known within the company, and yet is glossed over, because the team deliver results. Feedback on volatile senior management is ignored. Full flexibility and loyalty is expected from employees, and not received in return whatsoever. Teams are given little time to plan and execute projects , taking fast-paced to a new level. Due to high turnover and redundancies (because of all the above!) job roles are chopped and changed as appropriate, with responsibilities added with little to no agreement. If you question or can't manage the new work load, it's your issue rather than the company.
