Pros

Friendly colleagues. Fun to hang around with. I am sure that I will stay in touch with a few of them once I am gone. Most are like me, looking elsewhere.

Cons

CEO keeps telling us that Apple is his aspiration. The way things are going, Blackberry is a more appropriate comparison Induction course feels like indoctrination HR department calls itself "Organisation Development". Pompous name = pompous attitude Many senior executives are in the wrong jobs, only there because they are close to the CEO Some comments posted on this site sound a bit too positive to have been written by employees, let alone my Octopus colleagues. They read like they were dictated or commissioned by the "Org Dev" crowd. The Soviets' Politburo would not have done better propaganda
