Working within a large organisation seems daunting to some, however my experience could not be so different, yes its a large company but the opportunities for those who want to progress are unlimited, the world is there for the taking should you wish to do so.
Cons
I have been working for GXO for just over 4 years and I can honestly say I haven't had a terrible experience, yes we all have a bad day sometimes but the network as a whole pulls together and we move on.

Lovely review, thank you. Really great to see that team work is the answer. Yes, not every day goes as planned but when you have an amazing team that works together that's what gets results.
Great coworkers and talented engineers who genuinely support one another.
Opportunity to work on impactful projects and solve real business problems.
Exposure to modern BI and data technologies.
Strong team members who are willing to go above and beyond to deliver results.
Good learning opportunities for self-motivated individuals.
Cons
Leadership and management style can create unnecessary stress and turnover risk.
Frequent micromanagement and excessive focus on responsiveness rather than outcomes.
High meeting volume reduces time available for focused engineering work.
Priorities and stakeholder commitments are sometimes established before consulting the engineers responsible for delivery.
Limited trust in experienced employees and their ability to manage their own work.
Internal growth and mobility can feel restricted.
Work-life balance can be impacted by shifting priorities and urgent requests.
Lack of recognition or compensation alignment when additional onsite expectations or workload demands are introduced.
Having a non-technical BI manager overseeing technical engineering work can sometimes result in unrealistic timelines, misunderstandings of development complexity, and decisions being made without sufficient technical input.
