Pros
* Great people to work with. Many employees are collaborative, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping one another succeed.
* Strong heritage brand with a long-standing reputation in the industry.
* Opportunity to gain exposure to a wide variety of work, projects, and business challenges.
* Employees can develop broad experience across multiple areas of the business due to the scope and complexity of the organization.
* Talented teams with significant institutional knowledge and expertise.
Cons
* Over the last six months, there has been a noticeable shift in culture and leadership approach.
* While there is considerable emphasis on teaching, coaching, and upskilling, much of the development appears focused on reinforcing predetermined viewpoints rather than fostering meaningful learning, critical thinking, or diverse perspectives.
* Decision-making increasingly appears to be driven by top-down directives, with limited emphasis on data-driven discussion or healthy debate.
* Career growth and advancement opportunities are unclear, with few visible pathways for progression despite increasing expectations and responsibilities.
* Workloads often feel unrealistic relative to available resources, staffing levels, and timelines, creating challenges for teams trying to maintain quality and balance competing priorities.
* Employee retention does not appear to be a strategic priority. The departure of experienced employees has resulted in a loss of institutional knowledge, raising concerns about long-term organizational stability and engagement.
* The current culture can feel more focused on alignment with leadership narratives than on employee development, collaboration, and evidence-based decision-making.
