Honestly. Run. Run far away.

Pros

None, unless you want to work in a psychologically unsafe workplace,

Cons

The most toxic work environment I've ever encountered in 20 years. I was relentlessly bullied for 18 months and reported it multiple times - they did nothing. I witnessed racism on more then one occasion. I heard sexist remarks daily. It got so bad in 2023 they had to send everyone to a lawyer's office for a sexual harrassment seminar. It did nothing. ELT and SLT do not care about any employees. They would send out culture surveys then blame us for the results. When the results got so bad they stopped sending them for a while. This doesn't even cover the work related issues, such as poor org decisions with little to no regard for how it affected frontline employees. Legal team was so useless they constantly misinterpreted legislation then would send corrections out YEARS later. HR are even worse. One of the most incompetent and immature I have ever had the displeasure of working with. They constantly gaslight anyone who reports unfair treatment and behaviour. They don't understand basic work rights and employees have started joining unions left and right because of poor treatment.

Pros

They pay you enough money so that when you cry, you can wipe your tears with the cash they gave you when you sold your soul

Cons

I have seen several people crying over their mistreatment by their micromanager bosses. Degrading people who try their best to make a positive difference to the business by coercively controlling them and gaslighting them so that they think they're the problem. No support is given at all. High performers continue to carry the company on their own. People have been there 6 months or 10 years - it says a lot about retention of good talent. If you read the other comments here, nothing much has changed in several years despite restructures, and the problematic ELT continue to parade and preach about mental health being a priority whilst people's souls are left to crumble.

Pros

Nice office. Resilient and capable operations staff

Cons

Too much “strategy” - no useful change. Top heavy management who are forced to toe the line from an overbearing “control from the top” CEO. Force staff to be “profiled” which leads to them being pigeonholed. Even worse…some have been forced out due to their profiles. Any “leaders” left there have just figured out how to keep their head low. Constant restructure.
