Pros

Stunning building and grounds, canteen on site.

Cons

Very old technology with no plan to modernise. No actionable IT or data strategy. Toxic mgmt culture in some areas of IT. Even insignificant decisions and sign offs have to go to C-suite as zero delegation or accountability below this level. IT department is poorly managed. No IT processes, no change comms, everything is verbal, so it all depends who you talk to! IT delivery is excruciatingly slow and no-one seems to notice. The Change team and PMO are highly dysfunctional. They lack the capability to oversee IT change and are only comfortable with non‑technical change.

Pros

Amazing team, very supportive environment, and a lot of intern activities (e.g. communications club, presentations, etc.). The main UX team was fantastic, gave me projects to support, and was overall very helpful and gave a lot of feedback. I also appreciated transparency.

Cons

Low salary, which is to be expected for the intern position. Commuting can be far. Also, did not get an offer back for an entry-level position because there is no expected UX work.
