Pros
Some lovely colleagues and stakeholders who were kind and good to work with. The work was interesting.
Cons
Horrible managers and senior leaders who only care for themselves and are happy to throw their staff under the bus when they feel threatened or need to use someone as a scapegoat. That was the experience in the team I was in. My manager lied all the time and took credit for mine and other’s work despite their own incompetence with the most basic tasks. Staff who are quieter and lower on the hierarchy get punished for others’ mistakes and my manager’s manager was a manipulative bully and the biggest hypocrite but gets away with everything thanks to lazy overpaid directors. In the short time I endured this place, I saw multiple colleagues crying due to poor management and leadership practices, hard working staff be gaslit and discriminated against which led to them choosing to leave, threats of disciplinary processes for considering internal career progression, no consideration for staff’s personal lives and the poorest communication and organisation from a manager possible. Don’t believe anything they tell you at interview. It will all be lies.
