Pros

Free coffee and sanitary pads

Cons

Everything else. Managers insult you in private rooms with no cameras and when reported to HR you get sacked for made up reasons from your managers manager. Manager was racist aswell. Called me names in private. And got let go with zero notice and in my time employed there I saw this happen to 5 employees where one of them relocated from Italy for the job. Suprised this stuff isn’t in the news. They paid to be crowned one of the top employers. No chances of career progression I’ve seen ppl stay contractors for 8 years because they didn’t want to make them company staff. Work place abuse is rampant and that why everyone leaves after a year.

Pros

There were no positives here.

Cons

Team is full of people who will not leave. Why? - Because they know they will struggle to find a job elsewhere and as they want to hang around in the hope of being made redundant for a big redundancy pay out. Toxic team culture. Why? - Reasons includes staff talking behind your back to make it seem your incompetent whilst they are 'good' and gang up against you. Newer less experienced staff expected to take on more responsibilities and progress more then older more experienced staff. Why? - Because they are more educated with more qualifications and less likely to say no when compared to existing staff. Managers will focus on other problems rather than address the underling problems within the team. Why? - Due to their incompetence and fear of retaliation. This means they will turn a blind eye to a lot of issues and let certain people get away with things as it is the easier thing to do. Managers will also deny the fault is theirs and will be happy to put blame on others to protect themselves.

Pros

Offers a broad range of experience to regulatory professionals.

Cons

Don't expect any work life balance. Department resource has been cut to the absolute bone, though there is absolutely no acknowledgement of this. Result is that you have to work ridiculous hours to meet KPIs. Business transformation following mergers and acquisitions has resulted in a complete lack of career progression opportunities for those at PRO/Manager level.
