Pros

Great location, close knit team. Managers give you high level of responsibility from the outset.

Cons

Very corporate. Expectation is to work outside of contracted hours in order to show dedication to the role. No work/life balance and expectations of the senior management do not take into account employee well-being.

Pros

It has that global company environment

Cons

They do not care about you. They talk about mental health like it means something but when it comes to actions they do nothing. There was no progression, they just kept saying work harder and do more but there was nothing.

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for taking the time to provide feedback about your experience with our organisation. Your comments are essential to us, and I deeply regret hearing about your concerns, particularly regarding our approach to mental health and opportunities for progression. I would like to acknowledge the significance of mental health and its impact on our team members' well-being. It is distressing to learn that you felt our commitment to mental health was not reflected in our actions. Regarding the concern about career progression, I apologise for the lack of clarity or opportunities you felt during your time with us. Career advancement and personal growth are integral aspects of our organisational culture, and it is disheartening to hear that you did not experience this. Once again, I want to express my appreciation for your feedback. It is through candid input like yours that we can make meaningful changes and create a more positive and supportive work environment for all our team members.
