Pros
I was made to feel very welcome from day one of joining. The support from colleagues at all levels was excellent. Individuals took the time to explain the intricacies of the society. As a senior member of staff I was also fully supported by other senior leaders during the early days of joining. I found the society friendly and open, with a much more inclusive culture than I had previously experienced at large plc's. There is no lack of opportunity to learn for individuals who want to. The Head Office work environment is light, open and airy with only a small number of individuals having offices,
Cons
Being a mid-size society at certain career levels there will always be the challenge of opportunities to either move up or sideways. At times deadlines can get squeezed as there is a reliance on few key individuals.
