Pros

Global reach and exposure. Safe, sensible, not going to tank. Staff are loyal to each other and supportive. Good work life balance.

Cons

Time based career progression. Staff have limited expectations and aspirations. Pay is second quartile relative to market. Highly bureaucratic. Far more of a super tanker than a speed boat. Low risk appetite, slow to change.

Pros

Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

Cons

At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
