Avantages
investment in strategic areas good work/life balance, hardly anyone in the office after 6 pm (UK) management is fully aware that things have to change still employing some clever people benefits/salary quite generous career development options but you have to get proactive
Inconvénients
everyone is fearing their job, even the most successful sales people trying to become a sales oriented culture but a) don't know how to and b) to the detriment of the supporting functions outsourcing/near shoring some vital functions like HR and does not work for most parts. mistakes are being made with people's benefits/salaries quite regularly travel policy makes you want to cry vital communication only communicated through the intranet, no human touch employees are not valued as an asset. everyone is replaceable no real team spirit/collaboration going on. in fact often people work next to each other and don't even say 'hi' not even the basics provided (like a pen and paper) New King's Cross office is lovely, but feels like ghost town (may change over the coming months) every year (or earlier) senior management below Mike Lawry is being replaced making it difficult to plan long term they are still using Lotus Notes for crying out loud! equipment (like laptops) are mostly old and on the last leg. sales is getting better ones and iPads now, but often they have to wait for it.
