Pros
Met some great people that’s all I gained unfortunately
Cons
unconscious bias in the workplace due to the managerial relationships and the ‘this how things are done around here’ culture which is often toxic. some managers lack the managerial skills, knowledge and people skills to have their job titles but get them purely based on personal relationships. In short if management like you (which is more than often affected by unconscious bias) you will be given the job title you want. Although generally there are great initiatives for development, the power distance and hierarchy obsession makes it a hard and miserable place to work. There is a clear promotion path if you are willing to sacrifice work life balance, your sanity and time for very little pay. If you are driven and have a passion for what you do this place is likely to suck it out of you.
