Pros

there are none im afraid

Cons

The work staff bully people, I have seen people being shouted out for no reason and others just sit there while younger members of the team are abused and constantly made to feel like nothing. They degrade assistants and laugh at them when they don't speak loud enough or when they say something they do not agree with. The atmosphere is toxic. One lady had a 20 min rant about how another person wasn't doing what she wanted them to do. A difference of opinion in the work place is not uncommon, but to sit and slate an employee for 20 mins is terrible.

Pros

You get to work with lovely people, some of which are brilliant.

Cons

This is an organization where relationships often matter more than results. Advancement tends to favor visibility and proximity over impact, which can make the path forward feel less about contribution and more about navigation. HR and People functions appear heavily resourced on paper, yet those teams are frequently stretched thin, creating the impression of care without the corresponding capacity to deliver it meaningfully. Each year brings another cycle of organizational reshuffling that can feel at odds with the stated focus on employee experience and development. Learning and development exists, but its purpose is sometimes unclear, as day-to-day work life has grown more complicated rather than more supported compared to prior years. There is a noticeable gap between the language used around innovation and data driven decision making and the organization’s appetite for actual change. The culture often speaks in aspirational terms while operating in familiar patterns. For employees who value transparency, consistency, and progress over rhetoric, this can be frustrating. The result is a workplace that talks about transformation but remains largely committed to the status quo.
