Pros
Many committed, talented, thoughtful colleagues. A unique organisation and fellowship with great heritage and potential.
Cons
Value, visibility, progression and recognition are not always fully aligned with high performance, competence and commitment, and can be influenced by internal politics, dynamics and agendas. There can also be some disconnect between the organisation’s stated culture and the day-to-day practice, where well-intentioned constructive and creative challenge is encouraged but then not always well received and even penalised. Trust and safety remain fragile as a result.
