Fair company, little room for advancement

Pros

Smith & Nephew is a company that makes peoples lives better because of the products they develop. Good benefits package, above average pay.

Cons

Minimal room for advancement, not enough levels in the hierarchy. Can become boring if you are used to a larger company with many opportunities. Staff is currently lean and overworked. People aren't able to do their best work because they are too busy responding to the current fire drills.

Pros

Great industry and held up even during the economic downturn the country experieced. Good personal satisfaction can come from the work if you like helping people. Family oriented and allows time to take care of family issues.

Cons

Not very organized, little training is provided to new office hires. Trial by fire. Nothing is streamlined, and too much bureaucracy when trying to get things done. Because the company is so big people are able to get away with not doing their jobs 100% and letting things slip through the crack.

Pros

lots of freedom; no micro-management; time to do what you need to do during the day.

Cons

Management is terrible from the ground all the way up. The company had no logistics ability, no inventory, and no business sense.
