Pros

Supportive colleagues, we are all doing our best under immense pressure

Cons

Transferred through acquisition with promises of career development and progression—none of which have materialised. No meaningful management structure. Despite having a manager on paper, I’ve had virtually no interaction, feedback or guidance. Performance reviews are treated as a box-ticking exercise, with no discussion or acknowledgment of the content I carefully provide. No support or recognition. Chronic understaffing leading to burnout and an unhealthy work-life balance. Take annual leave only to be having to work the whole way through. Toxic environment where feedback is ignored and employees are often gaslighted into doubting their concerns. Overall, I feel unsupported, overworked and invisible. There is zero concern for employee wellbeing, zero communication, zero direction. They are more concerned over getting people into the office 5 days per week. Surprised I have stayed as long as I have.
