Pros

If you look hard enough, you will find some great people trying to do good work.

Cons

Transport for Wales used to be all about values and leaving a legacy. But now? It's turned into a toxic mess. These days, if you just keep your head down, don't rock the boat, and do the bare minimum, you'll get patted on the back. But God forbid you try to do the right thing, question dodgy decisions, or put people before profits. If you do, expect to be shut out or kicked out of important meetings. It's like they've created this culture where getting back at people is the norm. And the worst part? It's coming right from the top. The big bosses are setting the tone, and it's not a good one. The whole place feels like it's running on a "don't ask, don't tell" policy. As long as you play along and don't make waves, you're golden. But the moment you start pushing for positive change or pointing out problems, you're suddenly the bad guy. It's a real shame, you know? They used to stand for something. Now it's all about keeping your nose clean and your mouth shut. The people who actually care about making a difference are the ones getting pushed to the sidelines. Meanwhile, the yes-men amd women and the bare-minimum crowd are climbing the ladder. This isn't just bad for the employees; it's bad for Wales. An organisation that's supposed to be serving the public is more interested in serving itself. It's like they've forgotten why they exist in the first place. The vision of leaving a positive mark on Wales? That's been replaced by a short-sighted focus on keeping the boat from rocking, no matter the cost.
