Pros

Pension is better than most places. Negotiated good discounts in and around the city with some being national. Good mix of guys on the shop floor with different backgrounds and they're all approachable.

Cons

Dreadful low morale. Significant amount of "peacocking" by most middle/senior managers. No recognition or development time for technical professional development. Destroys WLB at most opportunities by ignoring when you're available to cover out of hours work. Scant acknowledgement of any deliverables.

Pros

Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

Cons

At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
