Pros

- Good work life balance, rarely required to work overtime / weekends unless its required for your project - Other Employees that works there are great people, with many of them working there for many years with huge amounts of experience - Very Good Company Car Scheme - Private Medical Care

Cons

- Its extremely hard to be promoted. Most will not be promoted unless they threaten to leave - As a PM you are required to cover more than the ordinary PM role requiring you to understand and communicate a lot of technical knowledge about their products - As a PM your always micro managing as many departments are overloaded with work - some of the best staff are the contractors there, however they are now been removed from the company, which means less competent and will staff remain - Communication between departments and projects is poor
