Pros

Hybrid working approach Annual leave entitlement Nice colleagues ‘Open to all’ education offering

Cons

Excessive workload and late hours on a consistent basis No clear progression routes Lots of people hired on temporary contracts Blame culture Management who pretend to listen but do not follow through with action Superficial focus on mental health and well-being which does not translate into reality based on unacceptable workloads and late hours Unclear priorities and moving targets Poor behaviour Last minute approach
