"A strong and capable company on a global stage."

Pros:

Graduates are given a high degree of flexibility with their working hours.
Members of management are regularly available and helpful.
Varied and high-level work is given to employees from an early stage.
While there is a hierarchical structure, it feels as though everybody is listened to as equals.

Cons:

Some manufacturing sites can be located out of the way, leading to reduced social opportunities.
The company is growing so quickly that aspects of HR can feel stretched.
If travelling is required, it may mean time away from home.
The early training is considered to be good, but could be more structured.
