Pros
Fairly relaxed environment and ability to make the job what you want (within reason). Okay on salary (so long as you negotiate well) Strong drinking culture (pro and con) Lots of nice, competent, decent people (equally lots of irritating, incompetent people...)
Cons
Inexperienced managers/heads of - tell you what you want to hear with no intention of delivering on promises. Look after only themselves and not afraid to throw you under the bus. Senior Leadership very slow to make strategic decisions Gossip culture - everyone knows things they shouldn’t, such as a colleagues performance review or their salary, or SMT opinions on other managers, or strategic plans still under discussion. Poor on progression / development 40% gender pay gap! No D and I committee or initiatives in place yet - looking to launch a D and I group this year (H2 2020), very behind the trend
