Pros
Nice offices , supportive coworkers
Cons
While there are some capable individuals in the business, I found the overall standard of technical expertise, particularly in specialist areas, to be inconsistent. This made it difficult to have confidence in decision making and the quality of work being delivered. The leadership style was one of the biggest challenges. In my experience, it often felt superficial and, at times, undermining rather than supportive. There was a noticeable gap between how things were communicated publicly versus how people were treated behind the scenes, which created a lack of trust. Recognition and progression did not appear to be strongly linked to competence or performance. Instead, visibility and personality seemed to carry more weight, which can be frustrating in a professional services environment where technical ability should be fundamental. Workloads were demanding, with a strong emphasis on output and client delivery. Combined with limited flexibility, this contributed to an environment that felt unsustainable over time. Staff turnover was, in my view, a reflection of this. Overall, I did not find this to be a healthy or supportive working environment. Since leaving, I’ve experienced a significant improvement in both job satisfaction and how my work is valued. I would strongly encourage anyone considering joining to ask detailed questions about leadership approach, expectations, and support structures before accepting a role.
