Pros

- Good & ethical employer - Fairly treated - No micromanagement (in our section at least) - Great team members

Cons

- Company was quite bureaucratic and siloed, and difficult initially to get to the correct person for support even as an employee, believe this was being addressed. - Deep hierarchy - Local HR not very responsive or helpful.
