Pros

Good food in the canteen

Cons

*Extremely cliquey - if you're not like them (i.e. into reality TV, slightly nerdy and introverted), they make your life a living hell. *Poor career mobility - again, if you're not like them, they won't let you move. They interviewed me for a couple of perm positions, just out of courtesy, but because I wasn't a key team member, I was rejected for not "scoring enough points." *Rubbish management *I applied for this job a few years later, just to see if they'd offer it to me - they did. But they were going to pay me 4k less than when I first worked for them. When I told them this was unfair, they said a higher salary "wouldn't be fair to the other candidates", and then had the audacity to ask me if it would be a deal breaker!

Pros

Nice people to work with

Cons

The longer you are there. The lower your salary as your increase isn’t as high as new starters so you end up not having the best salary according to time of service.
