Pros

One of the most generous rewarders in Sheffield.

Cons

Promotions not gained by merit but by a failure to resource externally. Dubious ethics. Cover ups. Bullying. Rotten bonus system. Glib senior management.

Pros

Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

Cons

At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
