Pros

Nice people and good pay

Cons

The executive management team hasn't had new idea in 30 years. The new CEO is the definition of an empty suit. He seems to think that letting everyone wear jeans is all it takes to transform this complacent, comatose company into Google. The company needs a fresh strategy and new blood at the top. Two things he hasn't delivered on in more than a year into the job. Middle management are barnacles focused on preserving the bureaucracy, Office Space at its worst. If you're looking for a work environment reminiscent of the DMV circa 1970 this is the place for you.

Pros

It was a paid job.

Cons

I started my role only to hear the hiring manager had left (he was new and apparently handed in his notice within a few days of joining - I don't know his reason(s) why). It was known during the interview stages that I didn't have a specific background, but due to this newly created team and the TUPE of a staff member, I would been shown the ropes...x3 months later and being sat around with nothing to do daily (with no leadership/direct management) I was subjected to a colleagues personal life issues and got daily updates to my dismay...and was told to do on-line courses that did not pertain in anyway to the role I was employed for. I discussed my concerns with the Snr in H.R and have no idea what was done with that disclosure. Once I’d finally met my TUPE’d colleague, he was thrown into assisting the orientation of the newly hired team manager and this did not change further months into my role (he acted as his cover during annual leave also). Another observation was the lack of U.K centric knowledge from the U.S headquarters - this is apparently why the TUPE took so long, because they didn’t factor in U.K employment laws into their team recruitment plans. Eventually I resigned, after 6-months of ‘trying’ and being patient. The salary was ok, and location ideal - apart from that no much else good to say based on my experience obviously.
