Pros

Great salary and benefits Hybrid work depending on position Opportunities to work on interesting projects Exposure to a large, complex organisation Some dedicated and supportive colleagues

Cons

Since the change in leadership, the overall work environment deteriorated significantly. I faced a particularly difficult experience under a senior manager whose approach made my role extremely challenging. Unfortunately, when I raised concerns through the ethics reporting process, the experience was frustrating and ultimately led to the case being dismissed. More broadly, I observed poor management practices, internal politics, and inconsistent progression opportunities. Certain individuals appeared to be shielded despite problematic behaviour, and micromanagement was common. The recent reorganisation process lacked transparency and support, with many employees feeling sidelined. Internal recruitment during this period also appeared unfair and poorly handled.

Pros

There are many diverse roles and opportunities within the company, which can make it easier to explore different career paths and avoid feeling stuck or bored.

Cons

Company lacks clear direction and has significant internal disorganization. Employees are often expected to take on multiple roles without appropriate compensation or support. Despite consistently being a high performer, I left feeling undervalued — after covering two roles, there wasn’t even a simple thank you upon departure. To make matters worse, eight months after leaving, they are now claiming I owe over $5,000 in PTO that had previously been considered settled at the time of my exit. Overall, the experience left a very negative impression and highlighted serious internal process issues.
