Pros

Pros: Strong global reputation and excellent exposure to complex projects. Benefits like flight perks are valuable and appreciated. Some teams are collaborative and provide good learning opportunities.

Cons

Rigid Hierarchical Structure: The divide between management levels is significant, and opportunities for upward mobility can feel limited. Roles at certain levels involve extensive responsibilities, but recognition and perks don’t always align with the scope of the work. Workspace Policy Challenges: The recent move to hot desking for many roles has created challenges for those who need consistent, focused environments, particularly in managerial positions. Meanwhile, private offices remain reserved for higher-level roles, creating a noticeable divide. Leadership Event Access: Participation in leadership events is often restricted to senior roles, which can make it harder for others to feel included in broader strategic discussions. Career Progression: There is room to improve career pathways, especially between managerial and senior leadership levels. Recognition for contributions could be better aligned with the responsibilities many roles take on.
