Pros

- Enjoyable and meaningful work - Good benefits - Hybrid pattern

Cons

- Exec out of touch with employees - Prioritises London office - Results of employee surveys rarely shared, only cherrypicked to support the narrative of the exec - Stopped all recruitment because new CEO wanted to "redefine our mission". Corporate BS that meant understaffed teams continued to be understaffed - CEO's interest in projects appears performative and can be rude and insulting to projects people have worked on for years
