Pros

- 9 day fortnight - Dogs in the office and in meetings - There are still some really lovely, competent individuals who are very passionate about improving things both internally and for customers

Cons

- Inspiring leadership is becoming extinct at various levels (not just senior leadership) - Culture has gone down hill and became very toxic, with some heavy corporate games and politics going on - with this kind of behaviour being rewarded and encouraged - Diversity and inclusion has been heavily overlooked and deprioritised over the last 2 years - Career progression is bumpy, with mixed messages between line managers and senior leaders. Initiatives are announced in company wide meetings to then be denied on the next day (literally).

Pros

- exposure to the end to end process of a wide range of project types - full autonomy - if you have entrepreneurial spirit, there’s a lot to implement which is really rewarding - nice people and a generally pleasant day to environment - competitive hybrid working set up. 2 days in office, 3 days at home - compelling mission and rebrand underway - ability to operate at a more senior level than your stated title and pay grade

Cons

- you hit a glass ceiling very quickly - the company is still transitioning between a lackadaisical culture and trying to do everything, resulting in a small group of people taking the brunt of a huge workload while others deflect responsibility - some well meaning managers & leaders but some very toxic and chaotic ones dictating projects - the beginnings of a gate process to ensure resource is pointed but then saying yes to every one of them without thinking it though, drowning their direct reports and pointing the finger when things go wrong - increasing redundancies and running leaner and leaner teams, while increasing the workload, is wholly unrealistic - leadership aren’t checking if redundancies are leaving gaps in responsibility, resulting in critical work streams being dropped and creating tension among project teams around who should pick it up
