Pros

Good salary Good infrastructure (location, fit-out, IT equipment)

Cons

A large number of leaders fail to empower employees and continue to micro-manage without using full delegation authority Company is allegedly going through a transformation to remove complexity/bureaucracy and increase productivity. Whilst this is correct for some areas/departments, the commercial/procurement area have a growing number of controls/restrictions leading to a general feeling of distrust from management towards employees. Lack of focus on coaching/personal development of employees who often feel that no career progression is possible

Pros

Ability to work 100% remote.

Cons

ITAS OTC Manager has no clue how to manage, encourage development, or plan growth. He was too busy trying to keep his skills up and not actually cultivate newcomers and manage well. I felt alone and not supported by my manager. The environment is not great for newcomers to the company. The team supposedly has so much work, but was able to lay me off after returning to work from health event. Complete and utter joke. They do not honor their core values. Beware of this place.
