Pros

In Technology, several training services(O'Reilly, Microsoft) are available, certifications funded by the company, and you can work with the latest tech. The pension contribution by the company is outstanding, one of the best I have seen in the UK.

Cons

Since the new CTIO(3-4 years ago) and his Target buddies came on board and by now slowly overtook most of Tech. People from the CTIO's old company were hired to positions not advertised anywhere and senior people were pushed out. Anyone who dares to challenge an ex-Target will be pushed out. With those the "amazing" culture left the building too and mainly left to LEGO... The amount of bullying and inappropriate behaviour increased in the org massively. HR has been non-existent and useless/slow, the processes are from the 1990s, solution for that let's get Workday... Bonus is only linked to company performance, the salary review process is not transparent at all. The career/Job level progression process is in constant flux and pretty much depends on your direct manager only.

Pros

Some company benefits, such as generous pension contribution. Company bonus albeit very small and hard to get.

Cons

No culture, boring and a quiet office. Flexible working is a myth, at least in my case. You will be watched and judged, working in constant fear. Some colleagues were got rid of for silly and resolvable things. I don't know how else can I describe management, it felt like living in scary times of communism where nothing could be said or done. You will not feel valued and appreciated. You will be judged with no or little investigation of the issue, and disciplinary procedures are not followed correctly, for example: management not staying neutral at the start and during the investigation but blaming you right at the start. If you are not a muppet and a boring person - don't bother working there. This employment has left a mark for life.
