Pros

Flexible benefits, healthcare, pension, hybrid working

Cons

The more profit, the smaller the bonus pot seems to be. Senior management giving lip service such as 'develop our people' whilst simultaneously saying there is zero training budget, so always having to self-fund, use own time. This is even despite the huge profits. Reality is a drive to offshore and employ those people with the skills they need and force out anyone else.

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.
