Pros
-Talented and supportive colleagues who genuinely care about the quality of the work -Competitive remuneration
Cons
-Poor leadership culture with limited psychological safety -High expectations paired with minimal support -Fear driven management style -Limited access to and visibility of executive leadership From my experience, expectations were set extremely high from very early on, with little guidance or support provided. Feedback was frequently delivered through raised voices and implicit or explicit threats of contract termination if performance did not meet expectations. From my perspective, this created an environment that felt fear-driven on a daily basis, which is not conducive to good decision-making or long-term performance. Direction was often given with little to no context, yet there was an expectation that full background knowledge already existed in order to make important project decisions. From my experience, asking for clarification or questioning decisions was not encouraged, and challenging the status quo carried perceived risk. The executive leadership team appeared largely uncontactable and was rarely present in the office. From my perspective, this lack of visibility and accessibility further reduced trust and left teams feeling unsupported.
