Pros

Flexible regarding my start date

Cons

My experience with management was challenging. The management style felt highly micromanaged, with limited autonomy and little flexibility in how work was approached. Expectations and standards often appeared inconsistent, which created a perception of unfairness among team members. Communication was another concern. Discussions about employees sometimes took place behind their backs, which affected trust and team morale. I also found it difficult to build a genuine working relationship with management, as interactions often felt more political than transparent.

Pros

The business is full of amazing, skilful and helpful people. This is extremely unique but so powerful to continue to grow as an organisation.

Cons

Only one (slight) improvement I would like to see is the number of sick days been removed. I am very rarely ill, but it certainly helps not having to potentially having to worry about that.
