Pros

Passionate employees that really care

Cons

An executive team that care about the bottom line and nothing more. They say they care about culture, about employee satisfaction, equality, but it's nothing but lip service. The latest thing was the gender pay gap release in the UK. By law, they had to publicise the data figures on the pay difference between male and female employees in the UK. Naturally the figures looked pretty terrible. They started a few conversations on the company intranet to get employees to put forward suggestions on what the company can do to close the gap. Employees obliged by putting forward their thoughts and ideas. Of course the reality is there has been no engagement by the executive team on the suggestions made. They wanted to make it look like they care by asking people to get involved in the conversation but what they secretly hope is that this discussion will just disappear so that they don't need to deal with it. They did the minimum they are legally required to do by law and that's enough for them.

Thank you for sharing your concerns. As a member of our executive team I can assure you we do care about employee satisfaction, culture and equality. Our gender pay gap figures were about the same as most other UK companies, and better than our former corporate parent. This fact does not get us off the hook for improving our position. In addition to our current employee resource groups and blog threads, we have a number of initiatives underway that will be communicated to the organization in the weeks ahead. I invite employees to join in the discussion and to participate in planning and execution to affect positive change

Pros

Opportunity to work with talented colleagues across North America, EMEA, and APAC. Flexible work environment with a strong emphasis on work-life balance for many teams. Complex, global business challenges that provide opportunities to develop operational, strategic, and cross-functional leadership skills. Exposure to enterprise transformation, AI, digital modernization, and large-scale operational initiatives. Collaborative teams with many dedicated employees who genuinely care about customers and each other. Ability to work with highly educated professionals across multiple disciplines and industries.

Cons

Organizational complexity and frequent restructuring can make decision-making slower than necessary. Roles, ownership, and priorities are not always clearly defined, which can create duplication of effort and reduce execution speed. Cross-functional collaboration varies significantly across organizations and often depends on individual leaders rather than consistent operating practices. Communication during organizational change could be more transparent and timely. Career progression can be challenging in certain parts of the organization due to ongoing structural changes. Continued investment in leadership alignment and organizational simplification would improve employee engagement and operational effectiveness.
