Pros

Supportive colleagues and generally collaborative working environment. Good exposure to real business data and responsibility. Fair redundancy package compared to statutory minimum. Decent work-life balance for most roles.

Cons

Recent layoffs created uncertainty and low morale. Communication around restructuring could have been clearer. Decisions felt sudden for those directly affected. Long-term data strategy appeared inconsistent.

Pros

Offer all colleagues private healthcare however, the plan is very restrictive.

Cons

Limited progression. Very poor management at all levels. Lots of legacy colleagues with significantly inflated salaries which causes tension amongst the workforce. Work-life balance is also poor- large emphasis on working beyond contracted hours for salaried staff without compensation.
