Pros

It pays well, issues bonuses, excellent health scheme and you get to work with some truly excellent people. LGBTQIA inclusive. More 'work from home' friendly post Covid. Opportunity to work anywhere in the world.

Cons

An extraordinarily difficult organisation, the culture is 'grin and bear it'; workload is a huge encroachment into personal life; isn't a dynamic work environment, processes and procedures mostly excruciating to navigate. Elements of 'boys club'.

Pros

Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

Cons

At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
