Pros

Attracts nice creatives who are like minded.

Cons

People who are narcissistic/rich get promoted quickly, whilst people who are good at their jobs have to do all the work. The content team is the most toxic part of the marketing team. They are aggressive, lazy, and inefficient. An embarrassment to work alongside.

Pros

Wonderful people and teams, creative, collaborative, excellence driven. Good pension scheme and City of London benefits.

Cons

Poor leadership & practices, lack of transparency, favouritism across SLT is a pattern that will not change, it won't be addressed and is supported from the CoL. No psychological safety.
