Pros

Mostly good colleagues who are not in management or acting management roles Hybrid working (though the game of favourites is played)

Cons

Promotion based on who existing manager likes, based on having similar demographic background Micromanagement, pettiness and abuse of power is demoralising for otherwise talented staff Complete disregard for diversity Top-down bullying problem ignored - speak up and you will be targeted and managed out Over-selling the job at interview Pay is not distributed on the basis of qualifications, transferable skills or experience and innovation is seen as a threat No career progression, unless your face happens to fit
