I would like to be more remote, just because there’s an office here doesn’t need we should have the initiative to use it - give us more flexibility

Strong Individuals, Systemic Gaps in Leadership and Accountability

Anonymous employee

CEO approval
Business outlook

Pros

- You’ll work with some genuinely capable and supportive colleagues. - Strong peer collaboration can make a meaningful difference — particularly outside of direct reporting lines. - Exposure to complex, real-world problems can be valuable for individual growth. - Flexible working arrangements remain a consistent positive.

Cons

- Leadership quality varies significantly, and this variance has a direct impact on team experience and outcomes. - Contribution and recognition are not always closely aligned; in some cases, visibility appears to matter more than ownership. - It’s not uncommon for project outcomes to be retrospectively framed — where successes are clearly attributed, while challenges are treated as shared or reinterpreted. - Performance processes can feel opaque; expectations and evaluation criteria are not always clearly communicated or consistently applied. - Career progression may not correlate strongly with sustained delivery or impact over time. - There are instances where high-performing contributors are managed in ways that make retention difficult, rather than being actively supported. - Broader employee support and benefits have gradually diminished, which may influence long-term engagement. - Over time, the gap between how things are presented and how they are experienced becomes increasingly noticeable.
