This company has been criticised by Ethical Consumer for the likely use of tax avoidance strategies, and for paying its executives excessive amounts of money.

In 2019 the median pay for a worker at this company was US$16,659. The CEO was paid 373 times this amount. Exorbitant CEO pay is a major contributor to rising inequality. CEOs are getting more because of their power to set pay, not because they are increasing productivity or possess specific, high-demand skills. The economy would suffer no harm if CEOs were paid less (or taxed more). In contrast, the CEO-to-typical-worker compensation ratio was 20-to-1 in 1965 and 58-to-1 in 1989.
