Pros: You will potentially develop your area and will learn an additional one. The company has a good infrastructure in terms of departments and offers opportunities for secondments, offers you lunch allowance (to be used within the canteens), possibility to share maternity/paternity leave and it's a strong name to have on your CV.
Cons: The technology they use it's a joke and they don't seem to be worried to change it in a near future. I've worked in a company with only 2 people and had a better system than here. It's taking them more than 2 years to get a management system!! The company sells itself as a flexible firm in terms of working hours, but this will vary depending on your team and may not be applicable at all if your manager/director has a closed mind. For instance, working from home and jumpers day is rarely allowed within my team, although the team next to us has plenty of liberty to enjoy it. In my case, they were not honest about my role when recruiting and, besides the fact that I am not doing what I was told I would do, I am also not in charge of anything, and I am constantly asked to do pointless tasks and do not have liberty to suggest any improvements. The organisation is a mess and I honestly don't understand how we even have clients with such an unorganized environment. They are too comfortable with the current situation and have a reactive strategy to deal with problems rather than a proactive plan.
