Pros

Salary and benefits are generous.

Cons

The team is run by a lot of incompetent managers who are dishonest and "kill you kindness". You try to get regular feedback and they tell you everything's honky dory. When you get to the final appraisal, all of a sudden you get lots of negative comments and you get told about the Gaus bell and lots of non-sense so that the bonus is diminished and the best marks go to those who brown- nose their line manager. There's a widespread culture of dishonesty and managers support each other so things remain the same and their job is safe.

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.
