Pros

- Pay is good for the amount of work that you do, but still lower than market - if you want a safe job with stable job with Inflation linked salary increase (but one where you will most likely never realise your potential), this is the company for you.

Cons

-Leadership are disillusioned, talk a big game, but are so detached from the reality of work , it’s actually frightening. They spend 80% of their time playing political games and empty words over doing actual work. - if you think differently, you will be pushed out. No one cares about change - it’s all about talk and big words - middle management are mostly completely inept and unskilled, pretending they are leaders l. Theatre at its finest. - most talented people at all levels are leaving, I know of at least 5 smartest people who have left in the last several months - there is no career progression on merit, people get promoted based on age and sucking up to someone higher up. - people suffer from bullying and burnout , and nothing real seems to be done about it, regardless of what’s on paper. I’ve been personally publicly victimized twice , and nothing was ever done about it.
