Avantages
The Alderley site in the UK is a beautiful location to work at. Nice restaurant, gym facilities etc. The people there and at other sites are by and large great people with the majority of them very dedicated to the company and also to what it stands (stood) for and the work that it was doing. Quite a few ago, it was a great place to work..
Inconvénients
Short sighted management - which started long before the cuts started happening is bringing a once excellent company to its knees. Morale is at extremely low levels. Short term cost savings in critical areas whilst squandering resource in non critical areas. Continual reorganisations at ever increasing frequencies. Cutting of staff beyond functional levels mean internal processes are falling over. Failing infrastructure and facilities, and dysfunctional/ un-managed/unclear systems and processes combined with insufficient staff have created an environment where it is extremely difficult for remaining staff to carry out their roles. Infighting between and within groups and "toxic" environments becoming more common.
