Thank you for your thoughtful review. We're pleased to hear that you've found the working environment friendly and that you've had access to a wide range of learning opportunities and projects. Agile working is something we continue to review, so it's great to know it's making a positive impact. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding salary, workload, and the effects of structural and management changes. While we strive to offer competitive compensation and a sustainable workload, we recognise that these areas can sometimes fall short of expectations. Organisational changes are often made with long-term improvements in mind. Still, we understand they can create uncertainty, and we’re working to improve how we communicate and support our people through these transitions. Thank you again for sharing your experience; your insights are valuable in helping us continue to grow and improve.
