Pros

All the people you work with on a daily basis are lovely and the work is interesting.

Cons

Minimal job progression (managers describe it as a meritocracy but promotions are based on time served …). Limited conference opportunities with no visibility on travel budgets. No ability to negotiate pay.

Thank you for sharing. Our people are at the soul of our company and we value that highly. We are investing heavily in our colleague's professional development & career progression is key to our people strategy. Travel and budgets generally should be openly communicated so please discuss with your line manager. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts from our New York office. We have a great team; our purpose and culture continue to be 'stand out' and some of the reasons so many colleagues stay with us longer term. We are collaborative and progressive and everyday we contribute to learnings for generations to come.

Thank you for sharing your review. We kicked off our second Career Growth Week so far this year with a focus on feedback which underpins growth at every level. Alongside the flagship sessions, colleagues took part in a wide range of virtual events across the week. These included popular sessions like building skills through feedback, Forward Talk, AI-powered feedback, “expert” careers and mentoring panels, the Facilitation Marathon, and a LinkedIn personal branding workshop, as well as practical learning through the Level up: boost your skills and Talent Attraction sessions. Perhaps look out for the next one which will be in a few months time. Colleague development is core to our organisation.
