Pros
Fantastic people, facilities, benefits and support. The culture is great, there is a definitely a focus on the employee wellbeing with mental health, physical health and diversity within the workplace. I love going to work each day.
Cons
This may have been specific to my department but there’s a real lack of career progression, even to a senior executive role. There’s almost a reluctance to promote people, and to facilitate company growth, they would rather hire externally than recognise the effort and loyalty of junior employee who can do just as good a job. It’s quite demoralising being told you’re not good enough to be promoted yet you’re fulfilling the job description of the role you should be promoted to. With the fast growth, there’s frequent change to team structures (which isn’t a bad thing in itself) but in some cases means people are made redundant at short notice and appears quite cut-throat.
