Pros

Flexible working hours, opportunity to learn new things.

Cons

Big part of the IT is being outsourced. Slow career progression. Almost no reward for results. Doing good or bad your, reward with be almost the same. Good to stay there for few years, learns as much as you can and go somewhere else.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience as a Senior Infrastructure Engineer with us. We are glad to hear that you valued the flexible working hours and the opportunity to learn new things. Continuous learning and supporting flexibility are important to us, and it is good to know these aspects had a positive impact. We are sorry, however, that your experience of career progression, recognition, and the impact of outsourcing within IT did not meet your expectations. We recognise how important it is for colleagues to feel that their contribution is rewarded fairly and that there are clear development pathways. Over recent years we have been evolving our technology strategy and operating model, and feedback like yours is valuable in helping us understand where this has not always felt positive for our people. Your comments on progression and reward will be shared with the relevant leadership teams as we continue to review how we support, develop and recognise our colleagues in IT and across the wider business. Thank you again for your contribution during your time with us, and we wish you all the best in your future career.
