Pros

- There are some dedicated and hardworking colleagues. - Good work life balance

Cons

- Outdated Approach: The firm is stuck in its old ways and lacks innovation. It’s a highly traditional environment that doesn’t adapt well to new methods or technologies. If you are looking for growth and modern practices, this company falls short. - Leadership Issues: There is a lack of strong leadership. The leadership team struggles with managing people effectively. There is little to no support for professional growth or clear direction on where the company is heading. - Poor Communication: Communication is a major issue. There’s a constant feeling of being left in the dark, and important information is not shared efficiently. Misunderstandings and confusion are common. - Salary: Compensation is below industry standards, and the pay does not match the effort or the level of responsibility expected. The firm needs to be more competitive in offering salaries to attract and retain talent. - Limited Career Growth: There is no clear path for career advancement. The firm doesn’t prioritise employee development, and feedback is minimal or non-existent.
