Does not live up to its promises - no real commitment to D&I

Pros

Talented people who believe in what they are doing. Good social cause/climate change solutions. Fair compensation. Good work life balance

Cons

Company does not live up to what it purports to be. There is little, if any, structured career development; top leaders constantly coming from the outside (due to lack of development of our own people; poor HR leadership and vision). D&I is touted, but is all talk and no action - statistics are poor re: people of color, ethnicity, or women advancing. Some diverse people come in, but the culture and some of the top leadership eventually root out anyone who is different or brings new perspective. Culture is very passive aggressive. Look at the parade of talented senior females who leave JM and you’ll see the issue. Only european white men succeed here. There is a disproportionate focus on UK and other countries are largely ignored.

Pros

Free lunch, early finish on Friday (although everyone stayed late and set an expectation to do the same)

Cons

Bad management. Was once genuinely reprimanded for starting and finishing on time. Summoned to an office for a lecture after recommending a manager use discretion to give one extra day compassionate leave following a bereavement. Bullying culture, would leave meetings close to tears with no follow up from management. During annual reviews I was blamed for being upset and told I should have been more accomodating (hard to see how). Was encouraged to challenge and give honest feedback by a manager I had done work for. When I told her that I'd felt a bit demeaned by being introduced to a group of candidates as a peers "admin assistant" she sat me down in front of her and said peer and explained exactly why I was wrong to feel that way and that I should reconsider raising the issue. Outdated equipment, hard to get anything done, little interaction with senior team members. Very hard to find information.
