Pros
Some talented colleagues and well-known clients. The junior and mid-level teams genuinely care about the work and each other.
Cons
Leadership often talks about values such as 'lead with love,' 'listen first,' and 'speak up,' but in my experience these weren’t consistently reflected in how people were treated. Transparency and communication frequently felt limited, and internal processes sometimes came across as reactive or performative rather than genuinely supportive. My experience returning from maternity leave highlighted a lack of structure and empathy around flexibility and reintegration. Flexibility seemed to come at the expense of progression or recognition, which felt disheartening in a company that publicly champions women and inclusivity. Decisions often appeared to be made at a senior level without much visibility of their impact on the people doing the work.
