Pros
Some of the team that are left, that said many have left or are looking to leave.
Cons
Culture of fear rather than learning or accountability Whistleblowing process does not feel safe or trusted Retaliation or negative treatment after raising concerns Favouritism and cliques influence opportunities and decisions Micromanagement common, autonomy rare Inconsistent standards applied between teams and people Performance reviews feel subjective and opaque Promotions often based on who you know rather than merit HR processes feel slow, defensive, and not impartial Policies enforced selectively and unpredictably Confidentiality not respected during grievances Workload routinely excessive with unrealistic targets Chronic understaffing and vacancies left unfilled for long periods Regular last minute deadlines and firefighting Pay below market for comparable roles Token wellbeing initiatives with little practical support High stress and burnout with rising sickness levels Lone working and event safety not taken seriously enough Onboarding is rushed and training budgets are minimal Little investment in professional development or CPD Internal vacancies feel pre-decided and hard to access fairly Cross-team collaboration is poor and siloed Restructures frequent, creating instability and low morale External consultants hired while basic staff needs are ignored Feedback channels exist on paper but lead to no action I could go on
