Pros
TLT World (offers great flexibility, work-life balance and free to choose how often you go into the office). Some good benefits available. Lovely brand new office in Manchester. Great EDI and wellbeing initiatives.
Cons
Toxic work environment and creepy/cringey team culture within HR OD. If you're someone who likes to keep work and personal life separate, introverted or neurodiverse, you'll be treated like an outcast and like there's something wrong with you because there's a lot of forced socialisation. I was scolded for being quiet during a team day out. It also seems like TLT are trying too hard to move away from looking like a stereotypical law firm. Micromanagement - I was micromanaged to the point where it was stifling and was set up to fail. When people say people don't leave their job, they leave bad managers, it's true. My line manager was awful and she pushed out 2 people from the team (my predecessor and then me). If you have long term health conditions (mental health especially), you'll be labelled and treated like a troublemaker, especially if you stand up for yourself and file a complaint against your line manager. Salary is way too low. There are similar roles elsewhere that offer a much higher salary (£29k+ per annum). It's also too low for the amount of work that was sent our way and if we pushed back or said no to more work, we'd get in trouble.
