Pros

Great Brand, good products but lost its way!!

Cons

European strategy centre is so far from away from customers it has absolutely no idea what customers want and need. The sales focus of the business is woefully poor and morale is dire.

We're confident that investments and changes shared with our employees are making a positive impact - but appreciate that we need to continue looking at the most effective ways to communicate, engage with and retain talent e.g. the Development Hub. Its an industry-wide challenge but please rest assured that there is plenty of effort placed on retaining, motivating and rewarding talent at all levels.
