Pros

Good work/life balance. Relaxed atmosphere. Good Annual Leave.

Cons

Corporate red tape is worst I've ever seen, cannot do even the most simple task without months of approval processes. Company perks are sub-standard (no gym membership, limited private healthcare (BUPA, but no private GP!), no subsidised food or cycle schemes).

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.
