Pros
There’s a great level of flexibility and autonomy here, you’re genuinely trusted to take ownership of your work and make decisions. The culture and the people are what make everything work so well; you’re surrounded by talented and smart colleagues, and coming into work rarely feels like a chore. Progression can sometimes feel slow, but there are plenty of opportunities to learn and grow through project ownership, cross-team collaboration, events, networking and even occasional travel. I feel genuinely rewarded for the work I do, both through the nature of the work itself and the recognition I receive from peers and senior leadership.
Cons
Day-to-day work within the business unit is quick, collaborative and generally straightforward. Because the team is small, you often get the chance to take on tasks outside your usual remit, challenging at times, but a great way to broaden your skills. When work involves the wider global organisation, things can move more slowly or require extra layers of sign-off. It’s not a major issue, just something to be mindful of when you’re used to working at a faster pace.
