Pros

During COVID-19 I didn't have to see my line manager

Cons

My line manager. He was only interested in furthering his own career. He had no clue how to develop a team or how to make them feel included. In my first week he insisted on checking every email I sent out. Why hire someone if you're going to micro manage them?

Pros

- Great benefits - Real flexibility granted you get a decent manager - Some amazing colleagues left within IT who really go above and beyond

Cons

- Management especially within IT is awful. No real direction, the rampant issues they have never truly get addressed. Most you'll get is that they are "aware" of these but then years later nothing has improved. - Brought in new CTO who offshored 100+ experienced long term IT staff to save some money. Lost a lot of knowledge and left many areas in shambles. Said CTO subsequently left as soon as this move was done... - 3rd party offshore staff remain largely clueless even after multiple months of training them to do your old job.
