Vantaggi
The people are genuinely friendly and supportive, and there is a strong sense of teamwork at the ground level. Colleagues are approachable and willing to help each other, which makes the day-to-day environment more positive despite challenges. However, workloads can be heavy and compensation does not always reflect the level of effort required. Progression opportunities can also feel limited without clear visibility or access to senior leadership.
Svantaggi
Office politics and personal agendas are a persistent issue. There are too many instances of close personal relationships within reporting lines, including situations where individuals manage their significant others, which raises concerns around fairness and objectivity. Promotion decisions often appear to favour familiarity over capability, resulting in mediocre performance being rewarded. Individuals are frequently placed into roles without sufficient knowledge of the department or the wider industry, which impacts effectiveness and team confidence.
