Pros

I chose to accept the role offered by Gleeson as I was bought into the company by the flexible work life balance opportunity. It does have a very relaxed vibe and some lovely teams especially those within the longest standing division (finance).

Cons

Alot of the other divisions, newer departments really struggle to find their feet and not much support given to really drive those other areas. Concerns raised about these issues were agreed with by higher management, then still easiest options taken of 'blind leading the blind', trying to figure out as they go. Also can be quite 'clicky', all this meaning a much slower journey to real success if that's a route you're after. Their reputation and success of the business is all stemmed from their Finance division.

Pros

Consultants and back office are the real stars of this business Recognisable brand

Cons

Poor and inconsistent line management, with limited accountability Concerns are not genuinely listened to unless they align with leadership’s narrative Big disconnect between stated values and day-to-day reality Progression and support often depend on who you report to rather than performance Feedback culture feels performative rather than constructive High stress environment with pressure outweighing support Issues are often deflected or minimised instead of properly addressed Internal politics can outweigh collaboration and transparency
