Pros

Salary is not bad Canteen has fish and chips on a friday

Cons

Quite obvious that the company is holding onto diesel catalysts for dear life - It makes up 60% of the profits. SIXTY PERCENT. And in 5 years it is likely to be seriously challenged by the battery vehicle market. They're too proud to admit (because they've done so well for 200 years) they need some new innovative products in the next 5 years, or they might be up the creek without a paddle. Royston catalyst site has a clear lack of strategy because of this. Nobody knows what they're aiming for anymore and it leads to chaotic project management and a revolving door of staff, and a toxic "I-know-whats-best" management style dictated by whatever agenda that person has. Very difficult to actually get anything done.

Pros

Some really great colleagues, work can be interesting, free lunch (if you can stomach it), share scheme, bonus, pension, claim back medical costs, 30 days holiday.

Cons

Constantly changing goalposts, constantly changing systems, no one is prepared to make a decison, everyone resists change because they have no faith in how the company is run, overall strategy is poor, training and development of staff is minimal, HR abysmal, serverly understaffed, out dated facilities.
