Pros

Nice people, great range of interesting projects

Cons

Very bureacratic company, very stingy with money for things like training courses and socials. Had to pay for our christmas party. Graduate scheme is awful. You manager is not allowed to hive you performance based pay rises or promotions for first 2 years which makes it hard to stay motivated. Pay for young engineers is well below average for similar jobs. Graduate training courses are insanely bad.

Upward mobility is very limited in a large pool of labor; office culture could be timid and rigid.
