Business Outlook

Pros

- Some very nice people in the Birmingham and Manchester offices (don't know the London office that well) - 50% off at their units - Able to work from home often

Cons

- Never took testing seriously - The last project I was working on before covid was being worked at too fast, as it was important for the business - Seemed like there was a bit of favouritism going on - Got rid of bonuses for new employees - As with any large company, they moved people around too often. I even got moved into a team last year where I had no line manager, as she herself moved into another team without anyone telling me.
