Pros

Some really talented and passionate people here whom you can be proud to work with. Some good middle managers who understand engagement and strive to support and develop their teams.

Cons

Extremely internally focused. Teams leap from one business review or budget submission to the next. Culture of micromanagement and lack of autonomy/ trust for the teams from leadership. Most head office folk spend all day everyday in meetings (including after hours) which leaves little time to progress workloads. Sad to see what was a mostly positive and supportive working environment deteriorate over the last couple of years.
