Thank you for sharing your comments, these are really useful. It would be great to know more about the views on flexible working so that we can look at how to improve this.

Pros

There are no Pros at this company.

Cons

This is a "good ol' boys club" and women are treated accordingly. They have just enough women in elevated roles to appear to be an equal opportunity employer but it's a boys club.
