Pros

- Excellent colleagues - Varied and stimulating work - Freedom to work the way you see fit

Cons

- Low salary (and yes, compared with similar jobs at other companies despite their claims to benchmark salaries), and constant stonewalling of the employee union in negotiating better conditions. - Middle and upper management and HR create lots of busy work for themselves and everyone else. - Leadership are focussed on short-term gains and cost-cutting over quality and serving their community

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We do have incredibly unique culture among our colleagues and great people. Work life balance and flexibility something we are very proud of. In terms of benefits and salary we do benchmark against our industry and something we are working on as we continue to support our colleagues and be flexible. Workation is an example which is proving very popular. Serving our community is something that is paramount to our purpose as we accelerate our growth strategically.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts from our New York office. We have a great team; our purpose and culture continue to be 'stand out' and some of the reasons so many colleagues stay with us longer term. We are collaborative and progressive and everyday we contribute to learnings for generations to come.

Thank you for sharing your review. We kicked off our second Career Growth Week so far this year with a focus on feedback which underpins growth at every level. Alongside the flagship sessions, colleagues took part in a wide range of virtual events across the week. These included popular sessions like building skills through feedback, Forward Talk, AI-powered feedback, “expert” careers and mentoring panels, the Facilitation Marathon, and a LinkedIn personal branding workshop, as well as practical learning through the Level up: boost your skills and Talent Attraction sessions. Perhaps look out for the next one which will be in a few months time. Colleague development is core to our organisation.
