Pros

None that I saw so far.

Cons

The most damaging part of my experience here wasn’t the workload or the pressure. It was the complete erosion of trust at the supervisory level. The learning curve is steep, which is expected in advisory. What’s not expected is the absence of structured guidance. You are thrown into complex global contracts and client interactions with minimal clarity and then judged as though you’ve had years of context. Mentorship is discussed often, practiced rarely. There is a culture of saying what sounds good in the moment rather than standing by it. Transparency is selective. Accountability flows downward. When things go well, leadership absorbs the visibility. When things go wrong, responsibility finds the most junior person in the room. Psychological safety does not exist in environments where you have to document conversations just to protect yourself. Conversations that feel supportive one-on-one often take a different shape in larger forums. Context changes. Narratives evolve. You may leave a meeting thinking you have clarity, only to discover later that the story being told upward looks very different. If you are comfortable navigating political undercurrents and protecting your own narrative at all times, you may survive. If you value directness, consistency, and leadership that stands by its word, this environment will be exhausting. I do not recommend this organisation if you value your career.

Pros

Fair starting compensation, the team I lead is very dedicated, the onboarding process is very smooth, there are opportunities to mentor and be mentored.

Cons

The current performance management process is deeply flawed. Leaders collect ratings from managers and supervisors, then gather in a room with peers to “calibrate.” During this meeting, a predetermined percentage of employees must receive low ratings. At one point, someone referred to this as “forced ratings,” and the IT leader became visibly upset, insisting that it was not. However, I was present for the discussion: we lowered ratings, checked the spreadsheet, lowered more ratings, checked the spreadsheet again, and repeated this cycle until we hit the percentage the IT leader said had to be met. From conversations with peers outside of IT, this appears to be a common practice across the organization. Unfortunately, the approach often results in employees receiving ratings that do not accurately reflect their actual performance. These artificially lowered ratings directly affect merit increases and bonuses—even if the bonuses are relatively small—creating consequences that feel at best unfair. Regardless of what label is used, the experience felt undeniably forced.
