Pros

Colleagues are typically great and most are knowledgeable. You are able to define your own work/life balance.

Cons

Nepotism - Zero career progression, unless you are best friends with senior management Lack of any direction, shows no understanding of the sector. Teflon shoulders and pass the buck trend is prominent between departments Silo working HR team are incompetent and do not support staff Bums on seats mentality - If you're not present, you're not working. No training, you need to be self-sufficient at Daikin UK to survive, Poor staff retention, over hiring in a declining sector. Majority old white male company, very backwards mentality. Wrong people in important roles. Non-existent pay structure.
