Pros

Colleagues are genuinely top class and so kind Good company equipment (Mac) Recruitment is good

Cons

-Senior Management do not listen to feedback metrics (office vibe) -Constant additions to an already overwhelmed department -Little to no training -We have been in a “peak period” for well over 6 months now, with no infrastructure to support us and we have gone from managing pipelines of 40-80 to nearing 200 people. - Poor engagement team, great for events but poor in taking onboard constructive feedback and actioning improvements - Way too many irrelevant meetings - Poor Salary for project management role
