Vantaggi
The company actively encourages home working. Although a large percentage of my time is spent delivering training at sites across the UK when I am designing or developing training packages I can work from home. No commuting takes an average 2 hours off my working day and saves me about £120 per month.
Svantaggi
The company is permanently downsizing in the UK. Senior management always seem to be playing schoolboy football. The flavour of the month is relentlessly chased until someone achieves their bonus, then it's on to the next target. Internal promotion is now rare as the senior managers seem to think they can only improve the company by attracting new blood. This was definitely true a few years ago but the reverse has started happening now with a lack of stability in structure and direction.
