Pros

Very inclusive work environment If you are on a newer project then there is great challenging work available People willing to help Relaxed environment and healthy initiatives Pension scheme is great Expenses paid instantly Work life balance is usually excellent

Cons

IT is disastrous. Teleports me to the 90s every morning. Opportunities can range between great and poor, depending on which project you get put onto. Your salary will be deducted, you will be forced to take unpaid leave etc under the excuse of "covid impact" Most of the direct line managers are not good enough in my opinion. Almost no focus on developing people (by line managers, even though the company does try) Communication is abysmal, especially over the past couple of years. I bet nobody in the office knows the org structure. Getting promoted is more convoluted than it should be.

Working with great people makes such a difference day to day – it's good to hear that's been a real part of your experience. We hear you on internal progression – career growth can feel different for everyone, and we know we've still got work to do to make development paths clearer. Feedback like yours really helps us move in the right direction.

Thanks for sharing, sounds like you’ve had some great people around you – that kind of support makes a huge difference. It’s also encouraging to hear the company direction is coming through as a positive. Location is a personal factor, and we appreciate you sharing that as part of your overall experience.
