Pros

A very friendly place to work, with most people being very willing to help you out. So long as you get the job done properly, you shouldn't have your boss breathing down your neck. Good opportunities for training.

Cons

Far too many levels of management. A strange disparity in procedures for courses - some require jumping through hoops to get on, some to get off!

Business Outlook

Pros

Chartership and professional accreditation is encouraged and supported. Smart and knowledgeable workforce. Innovation is encouraged. Twice yearly performance reviews - not just a tick box exercise.

Cons

Far too many managers at the expense of having sufficient numbers of engineers. Promotions often based on who you know rather than merit.
