Pros

Good sick pay, interesting work, good colleagues

Cons

Maquaire owner business so now all about maximising dividends to them at the expense of staff and their terms and conditions. HR are horrendous and monitor trackers against overtime claims like the KGB. You have to justify every little crum of overtime even though some can’t be helped. Management dismiss feedback that is challenging. Lots of people leaving because of all the change and erosion of morale. Company only interested in itself and eroding staff perks.
