      Not as cool of a company as it sounds unless you're a white male

      Pros

      I work along side some of the greatest co-workers... many should have been promote... so much untapped talent gone to waste because you're not in the clique or look the part.

      Cons

      Want to be promoted? All you have to do is harass, demean, and suck up to the right person... Complain to HR... does absolutely nothing. So called HR does nothing when a complaint about sexism or racially biases is reported. Complain about favoritism... absolutely nothing happens even when you complain to corporate. The incompetent is promoted. Most forward thinking companies implement an all level review system so managers can be reviewed by those that work under them and not their friends that will look out for them and tell half truths.

      Pros

      Free coffee Nice roof terrace and place for breaks

      Cons

      Extreme hierarchical structure, means if you manager, or anyone else up the line is no good it means you suffer. Everything goes through your line manager so if you have a bad manager who wants to micro manger, you have no say on your own tasks, and have to carry on just doing as your told even if you think what you are doing is wrong. If you suggest what your manager has asked you to do is not right they can make your life hell, because as far as senior management or HR are concerned the person with the higher job title is correct and their direct reports must do as they say no matter what. Terrible office atmosphere, everyone just sits there with headphones on, its possible not to hear the person sitting next to you voice all day, you can here a pin drop. Big blame culture, which creates an horrible back covering, finger pointing approach to work. Yearly redundancies make it hard to settle and feel secure.
