Pros

Great city centre location (2 mins from St James Metro), modern, well equipped office space including great support for cyclists. As the office has just opened it's a great chance to get in and influence the direction and tone of Leonardo Newcastle.

Cons

No cons regarding Newcastle. Leonardo is a big company with big company processes - this is not for everyone.

The best way to be offered a promotion is to hand in your notice. The employee development plan is basically pointless.
