It is so good that there is little turnover, and as a result less opportunities for upward growth.

Pros

Leadership is all “in” on AI use and training.

Cons

The AI training has been focused to developers and the tech org. It was stated general job training was a high priority item for this year, but my co-workers and I have not seen the benefits of this. There are many people who make decisions but do not take the time to understand things before those decisions are made. It feels like there is a boys club in some parts of the organization.

We also take your comments about decision-making and inclusivity seriously, as these are essential to a healthy culture. Please reach out to our HR team so we can learn more about your experience and address the issues you’ve raised. Thanks, Jonathan, Head of Legal and HR
