Pros

The company itself was very good with lots of good benefits. Many staff there were really good to work alongside.

Cons

Bad management, gave promotions to the wrong people, terrible HR department that behave very unprofessionally and bad at their jobs. A lot of senior staff to bully others and have little respect for younger staff- management are aware of this, and sometimes part of the problem. You get targeted if you stand up for yourself.
