Business Outlook
Pros
A business that genuinely cares about its people (in HQ at least). Strong brand and a well-known name for your CV. Financially sound business and still privately owned. Good opportunities for internal progression and development. Strong vision and direction from the top, communicated often and clearly to staff.
Cons
Slow and bureaucratic and not always open to new ideas. Overly complex and collaborative, everyone needs to agree before you do anything (see point above re slow). Under invested in management training/development and most managers seem promoted for technical ability, not their ability to manage people - so hit and miss whether you get a good manager or not.
