Pros

Great colleagues who are not in management.

Cons

No clear direction. Expanding into sectors without the necessary capability. Too many leaders, creating a clique environment. Not enough clients which can stop career progression and experience.

Pros

Some really nice and friendly people with good intent.

Cons

There is a noticeable gap between the values the company talks about and the way leadership actually behaves. On the surface, the organisation presents well, but internally it often feels like people are focused on the wrong things and there is a lack of clarity about where the company is heading or how it plans to get there. The culture has changed quickly, and not for the better. This is reflected in the number of people leaving, across different levels of experience, from long-serving employees through to newer staff and graduates. Alarmingly, this is reflected in the diving results. It is not an environment where I felt comfortable raising issues, sharing honest opinions or providing feedback. There is a sense that if you challenge the direction or call out concerns, you can quickly be labelled as difficult rather than listened to constructively.
