Pros
Generally nice, professional, hard working people with positive aspirations Good offices and facilities with better than average IT - free tea and coffee on every floor plus very good canteen Flexible if you have to work from home - connectivity good via VPN Genuine concern for individual from line manager (in my experience) - although haven't been involved with HR
Kontras
Archaic management hierarchy has evolved on former military and civil service lines - this UK subsidiary of Boeing is becoming MoD in the private sector Just about impossible to develop and compete for promotion on a level playing field with former military staff and external applicants Lots of effort going into re-inventing the wheel, when 'big Boeing' in the US probably has all the answers Bogged down in process for process sake - takes an age to get a simple job done, except when a senior manager is under pressure from his opposite number, in which case it's JFDI (you know what I mean!!)
