Pros

There are alot of check box items, that make the company look great on paper

Cons

The lived experience of the employee is not great, for example; they might have a 'tick' for employer of choice for women, but I would not agree that it is. Having seen 'behind the scenes' there is not transparency around salaries, support for employee sickness and well being. There is a lot of talk of flexibility but you better be in meetings that are put in your diary at any time of the day. Redundancy 'cycle' every 12 months.

Pros

-Trustworthy immediate colleagues -Good work/life balance and flexibility

Cons

-Little career pathing within company. Organization is extremely siloed, and cheap as they simply aren't interested in paying for small things to advance one's career like local industry conferences and events such as team holiday dinners that would have minimal impact on the company's bottom line. -Pay not aligned with skills or talent marketplace -One would think a benefits/career consultant would have decent pay and benefits. This is not the case
