Pros

Culture in the company is good.. everyone is friendly, helpful..

Cons

HOD of my team doesn't know the workload of the team.Feedbacks to her are useless, as it will end with her saying that it is manageable.. Replaced senior staff with junior staff and tell us to be optimistic, when she's not the one doing the mentorship.. so need to balance mentorship and BAU..

as above, there are some great people to work with, and in the right department, the pay can be good.
