Pros

Cooked food in the canteen is reasonable

Cons

Management appears to focus primarily on directing staff to work toward targets that benefit their bonuses, while taking full credit for the outcomes. There are numerous non‑conformities, including concerns around financial practices, manipulated email figures, and an IT system that lacks proper archiving, leading to significant compliance issues. Many managers seem to observe from a distance without taking responsibility for ongoing problems. The overall environment feels exploitative, with a management style that relies on intimidation and humiliation.
