Pros
Relaxed culture, nice colleagues, interesting work in Public Affairs service line doing social research and helping improve public policy.
Cons
Poor management and structure, roles a bit unclear, the matrix structure means some people don't feel at home anywhere. There is a major lack of transparency on pay with people on the same grades having very different salaries, and there are very low pay rises and bonuses (below inflation last few years, on top of that they are asking staff to come in more which increases cost. Performance not rewarded, you can exceed business development targets and not receive good bonus / pay rise. Overall, feels like a lot of take and not much give at the moment. Falling majorly behind on AI tools despite a strong start.
