Solid foundation with unrealised potential to be excellent!
Pros
There is a universal feeling that senior management and senior figures in the company genuinely have your wellbeing at heart. Employees across the business openly feel supported in their role at the company. Workplace culture is comfortable and void of toxicity, with ample respect for socialites and introverts alike. There are great characters across the business and the blend of personalities works well, which is a tribute to the recruitment process. It is an easy place to work. Employees can take it upon themselves to pursue exposure to all areas of the business and the company is supportive of departmental moves to enable skillset exploration and progression.
Cons
There is a degree of irrational presenteeism with regard to in-office requirements for an otherwise progressive company that values work-life balance. In-office days feel less productive and the 4-5pm clock-watching feels like an obvious oversight in comparison to work-from-home efficiencies that most businesses in this space have perfected by now. Department manager behaviours can be placid at times which in turn results in a lack of decisive edge that can return unpopular or regressive policies or strategies because being definitive was too difficult, where progressive alternatives were simplistic with the correct application and authority.
