Pros

The work is really interesting, the people are really bright and you get to work for a world renown organization. Benefits and salary hover around market averages and job training is good.

Cons

Expect significant push-back on new or innovative ideas. The business is highly conservative, risk adverse and process orientated which makes them resistant to change. Senior management tend to secure their roles through experience rather than skill. There is a significant amount of bureaucracy and political positioning due to slow career growth. Be prepared to drown in red tape.

Working with great people makes such a difference day to day – it's good to hear that's been a real part of your experience. We hear you on internal progression – career growth can feel different for everyone, and we know we've still got work to do to make development paths clearer. Feedback like yours really helps us move in the right direction.

Thanks for sharing, sounds like you’ve had some great people around you – that kind of support makes a huge difference. It’s also encouraging to hear the company direction is coming through as a positive. Location is a personal factor, and we appreciate you sharing that as part of your overall experience.
