Good training and development

Pros

- Excellent support with training and development, encouraged to do as much as possible - Due to the Company being so large and diverse then if you are unhappy in your current role there is bound to be something somewhere which suits - worldwide opportunities in a variety of functions and business units - Salary pretty good at lower grades, however not so competitive at management level

Cons

- Inconsistencies between business units with regards to pay, promotion and benefits. Understand this is hard to manage with such a large company but it can be dis-heartening when you see colleagues in other business units getting regular pay increases and larger bonuses when this is down to business unit policies rather than an individuals performance - Senior management organisation is not very diverse

Pros

Good salary and flex time policy. Well supported and most jobs are quite well paced and not too stressful. Projects are quite interesting and good opportunity to move around. Annual bonus and initial welcome payment are a good bonus.

Cons

Some jobs can be boring if not given enough to do. Good work can go unnoticed as it is such a big company.
