A great company for growth

Pros

I've been with the company for more than ten years, during which time I've grown personally and professionally with the support of many great people around the world. I've learned new things, new skills and become more confident in what I do and in dealing with people. Sometime challenging, always interesting, there is always plenty to do and new things to learn. The company culture allows autonomy - you can make the most of your place and really grow in your role. I have a great work-life balance and feel like I am part of a giant worldwide family.

Cons

With a company of this size, sometimes getting information and news to all levels throughout the business is slower than ideal and sometimes the message gets disrupted along the way. This is a shame as sometimes parts of the business must feel left out or isolated, but that's not the intention.

An exceptional organisation to work for

Pros

The professionalism and integrity of G4S employees is second to none. G4S gives you the room and autonomy to shine. G4S has clear strategy and direction, giving you something specific to aim for. The work G4S does affects people’s lives in terms of their security and safety and this is truly something to value. The management team is tremendously supportive and approachable. G4S and its employees have a real 'can do' attitude, which you would expect from a global solutions supplier. The people at G4S make it an exceptional organisation to work for.

Cons

It is very difficult to name any downsides, but to ensure balance in my review, I would suggest the sheer size of the organisation sometimes leads to communication challenges.
