Pros

Not many, other than your monthly paycheque, unless you are one of the click and got your job through knowing a key stakeholder

Cons

Massive blame culture, they say it's a just culture but put your hand up and there are no second chance, you will be penalised. It always has to be someone's fault Communication is non existent, managers are unapproachable and don't take responsibility Managers that aren't assigned to one site are barely visable Managers think they are better than everyone else and treat you like second class citizens Each dept is working in isolation, in some circumstances against each other Staff are starting to leave in abundance Training is disorganised with no structure to follow

Pros

People tend to help one another

Cons

Pay is terrible compared to industry standards, no bonus/stock option, and upper management has been micro-managing the department for over a year as of 2025.
