Pros

Lovely offices, good location, can work from home- that's about it.

Cons

I worked at Howden for just under three years, the office environment is beautiful - it stops there. Managers are protected by the senior management, and so bullying, mismanagement and inappropriate comments are 'allowed'. The higher management are very unapproachable; indeed when the CEO walks around, you get the feeling you shouldn't look at him - that's not culture, that's elitism. Howden has grown too big too quickly, so you're just a number, not a person.
