Pros
People are friendly No hot desking Large individual lockers Nice breakout area for lunches - eating at your desk is discouraged
Cons
Management are reluctant to delegate and slow on reviews so talent remains under utilised Poor salary Not everyone gets a laptop, so some people can't work from home even in an emergency They sit in silence all day, it would be noisier in a library. I've heard it described as an "Academic" environment but I definitely found working at a University livelier than this. Remote working discouraged, since it's a silent environment it would make zero difference if we were all home based. Contract hours are 09:00-17:30, which is strange since in most places I would happily stay past 17:30 but here it feels forced and I want to leave on the dot.
