Pros

Great Environment Great Colleagues Good Benefits Reasonable work life balance

Cons

Confused Organisational structure - ways of working, roles and responsibilities and actually getting things done requires extensive stakeholder management and lining up of vested interests Inability to commit to embedding strategic change - strategies are written and signed off, work begins but it's never really committed to and embedded in what is really a very risk averse organisation. This results in improvements being slow and incremental and hard to implement.

Pros

Can't emphasize enough how approachable, non-judgmental, and supportive the team is, both managers and colleagues. Everyone genuinely cares about your holistic professional development and growth.

Cons

This may seem unrealistic, but I genuinely did not have a single negative experience during my time here.
