Pros
Used to be a great place to work despite frequent long hours and occasional internal fights (I'd expect this with many companies). London did great up until Greg Conlon stepped in as a regional head - a guy with a huge personal ego and no respect for anyone else around him but the people above. But even then, with the old team still around, it was manageable and we delivered very good results..
Cons
From 2008 onward London has seen an exodus of the top caliber people on a regular basis. Those are being replaced with either contract personal who have little respect for the company's culture and beliefs and treat this as a temporary solution, or senior management's friends who again lack the ability to drive the ship forward. This is compounded by a constant internal reshuffling often resulting in management personnel being put in positions they have little understanding of. Given all this, WP has lost its position among the leading engineering firms, clients do not see it as a trust worthy organisation anymore. Yet the management is trying very hard to portrait an opposite picture by feeding the personal with some vague and extremely generic words. Morale on the floor is at its lowest for years
