      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great benefits in terms of flexible working, core hours, holidays, share schemes, pension etc. Good apprenticeship and graduate schemes to encourage young people into the business. Good international exposure and opportunities to travel. Interesting work and generally good job satisfaction.

      Cons

      An extremely large company making it difficult for progression at times. Many levels of bureaucracy. Lots of politics given the nature of the business. Customers running out of money globally causing significant difficulties in gaining new business.
