Pros

Supportive and collaborative colleagues across the broader team which made my day-to-day interactions positive.

Cons

My reporting manager was not supportive and often created a stressful, toxic work environment rather than enabling growth or collaboration. The role came with unrealistic workload demands and an expectation to deliver flawless results while navigating unreliable and poorly maintained systems - all under unsupportive and toxic leadership.

Pros

- Colleagues were great, strong network of talented people - Salary is decent - Amazing office, good location

Cons

- High attrition: lose a lot of good people due to internal conflict, no accountability for poor performance or behaviour and hierarchical untrained management - Typical new managers joining with zero training and turning team dynamics upside down - People leaving because of people, not jobs - Internal moves/promotions based on who you know rather than performance
