Pros

- Some really good colleague and friend - Splendind office location - Many colleagues passionate about work, art, and always pushing boundaries to achieve the greatest results - I love having a private bar where we can hold our meetings and enjoy a meal together - AI is still seen as an opportunity to speed up the workflow, not a way to replace human beings.

Cons

- Organizational dynamics have become increasingly politicised and toxic, with inter-departmental power structures impacting cross-functional collaboration. - The current workload and expectations present challenges in maintaining a sustainable work-life balance. - The Return to Office policy has not improved employee wellbeing or work-life balance, nor it improved productivity, based on consistent peer feedback. - Recent redundancies appeared misaligned with performance data, resulting in the loss of high-value colleagues, while cost inefficiencies in project delivery remained unaddressed. - The ratio of Managers and Art Directors to those effectively fulfilling their roles leaves room for improvement.
