Pros

Met some great people over the years

Cons

Toxic culture and terrible management. Senior managers simply unable to communicate expectations then hung out to dry when things don’t happen. Lots of backstabbing between departments.

Business Outlook

Pros

Didn’t discover any real Pros for this business. Arrogant and very poor culture, pockets of exceptional people though.

Cons

Expected to work at 200% of your role and have aspects change weekly and workloads with it. Leadership is led by a few whom are all about themselves and you should be prepared to be exiled should you not agree with them. High churn rate of Snr leadership due to 1 individual would say won’t change till that person is no longer with the organisation - be mindful as promise role description is not what happens. Accident waiting to happen with safety, technology led by arrogance in ignorance. Deeply consider your options and appreciate bad culture remains
