Pros

Opportunities for progression with structured succession plans Opportunity to develop a career and not just a ‘job’ Internal & External Training and fully supported CIPP qualifications Excellent Senior Management Team that actually recognise good work Forward thinking Senior Management to are always looking to continuously improve both the people and Service Provision If you are the sort of person that shows initiative and wants to be involved in improving services then your ideas will be listened to no matter what job position you are in from Trainee through to Manager Your Salary progression is in your hands – Grading structure gives you plenty of opportunities to show different strengths/capabilities/behaviours and be rewarded appropriately

Cons

Initial starting salary could be better however you have the opportunity to prove yourself and receive significant increases each year - in some cases in excess of 10% Can be very demanding environment to work in at times as you work to constant deadlines - that though is also down to the industry not necessarily the company Still work needed by Management team to ensure that additional work requirements do not put a strain on the actual scheduled work requirements i.e. additional projects/ad-hoc requests with overlapping deadlines.

Pros

Very few pros come to mind, there were some great people on the individual contributor level I worked with across multiple teams however many left or are on their way out.

Cons

This is a highly toxic and disorganized work environment. Leadership’s lack of knowledge, direction, and experience is apparent. When I started, leadership was disengaged and disconnected to everything. I noticed there was a sudden and obvious change in leadership’s approach where “urgent” asks from above were being requested with little to no context. Unrealistic and changing expectations started being communicated as the norm. This caused confusion, chaos, and burn out, resulting in extremely low morale across teams. Concerns and feedback were either ignored or people were penalized/suddenly terminated for speaking up. Lastly, it doesn’t go unsaid there is no work life balance or professional boundaries here. This is a work environment that sets people up for failure and can have a serious impact on overall well-being.
