Pros

Colleagues were supportive and professional.

Cons

There were ongoing concerns with management practices. There appeared to be limited accountability and, in some cases, senior management and line managers lacked sufficient experience or understanding of key operational processes. Additionally, overtime was expected at times without clear compensation or recognition. I raised these concerns through the appropriate channels; however, I did not feel they were addressed constructively. Following this, I was identified for dismissal without a clearly communicated or substantiated reason. This has raised further concerns about how feedback is handled within the organisation, particularly as I had raised these issues in good faith prior to this outcome.

Pros

Consultants were not overworked, and people are generally staying in their own lane. Strong knowlegeable teammates and lots of internal resources to grow. Work life balance was good.

Cons

I left during a time of transition, since the top practice director retired and the EBA leader took over as interim leader. This interim guy seemed to be waiting for something to take any action with current resources, and he was not too interested in rallying or figuring things out as a team. If he had expectations, they were never communicated to me. The lack of clarity was very challenging for me personally, and it came off as a lack of support. I think others in the team probably feel similarly.
