Pros

Exciting business carrying out massive projects, formed around the concept of looking to do things differently.

Cons

Hobbled by divisions across senior management, and the inability of many to control rampant egos. Pockets of institutionally-accepted behaviour which would be intolerable to most modern organisations - tantamount to bullying and intimidation. An excellent place for politicians, not so much for those with morals.

Pros

Direct collaboration with global teams and exposure to high-level projects.

Cons

Unsupportive environment: The workplace culture suffers from micromanagement, passive-aggressive communication, and a clear lack of integrity from recently appointed management. Leadership Favoritism: Senior leadership tends to favor newly hired managers, failing to provide equal treatment, fair evaluation, or direct open channels of communication to the rest of the team.
