      1.0
      4 Nov 2025
      Senior programme management consultant

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      - Smart colleagues and generally supportive peer culture - Subsidised cafeteria is a nice perk - Exposure to interesting projects

      Cons

      - Very high level of oversight, with limited trust or autonomy in day-to-day work - Micromanagers are enabled and people element completely missing - Middle management often lacks decision-making authority, leading to inconsistent direction - Favouritism, inconsistent expectations and unclear pathways for progression or fair opportunities - Roles at the same level can feel uneven in terms of responsibilities and pay

      Pros

      They provide a wealth of learning materials to further your career.

      Cons

      My experience was that upper management does not understand what those in lower level positions do, and they don't take advantage of experience and knowledge of those below them to make strategic decisions.
