Pros

Benefits are not too bad

Cons

Poor management that promotes a lot of favouritism. Some of the so-called ‘leaders’ here are also quite fake and their actions really differ from what they say. The culture here is terrible. Only join here if you really like to boot lick your bosses and you are really adept at office politics/backstabbing your colleagues/leaders at any chance you can while pretending to be their friends. That’s why many of the good workers who actually know their stuff have left and the bootlickers who pretend that they know their stuff are still there.

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
