Pros

The culture was relatively relaxed with managers not getting on everyone's case all the time. The teams were small so everyone got a chance to say something.

Cons

Not a lot of work was given to a new joiner, we were just made to sit around and do nothing much during our time. It would have been several months before significant work was given and even then it wasn't very interesting.

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.
