Pros

Beautiful museum, lovely to enjoy the amazing art and exhibitions Some departments are friendly and nice. Lovely subsided cafe Beautiful surroundings Entry to many exhibitions Tickets for paid exhibition

Cons

IT Management are bullies who target staff over and over, to the point of leaving their jobs. HR and Senior Management turn a blind eye and do not care about what is happening to staff who are intimidated. No transparency whatsoever. Blame culture exists. No accountability or responsibility for the treatment of staff. Escalation of issues results in a hostile and unapproachable management style by next level management. Deep rooted issues. Requires someone at the top to make a top down change for good. Inappropriate conduct by some senior management.
