Pros

Good work life balance. Good benefits.

Cons

Very political, no team spirit between departments and loads of finger pointing. Progression dependent on your relationship with your manger, forget about meritocracy. Overbearing, bulling and difficult behaviour are highly valued personality traits.

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.
