Pros

Competitive pay Flexible benefits Good facilities, e.g. office, gym, coffee Intelligent and thoughtful peers/colleagues If manager is good then employee would be well-looked after and thrive, but this is 75% not the case

Cons

Culture of intimidation, bullying and fear the closer the role is to the Senior Executive Team (SET) Excessive hours Poor middle management, Vice Presidents (VPs) and Senior VPs, who do not know how to motivate people PowerPoint driven culture - not on a slide? no interest = 100s of slides In-fighting and politics require excessive stakeholder management and slows down internal communication Too many strong personalities dominating senior positions, so people are scared to speak up
