Pros

- The company presents well externally, with strong messaging around transformation and purpose. -Some capable and committed colleagues still doing their best in a difficult environment

Cons

- Internally, the organisation is weighed down by outdated structures and risk-averse leadership - Strategic decisions are made without proper consultation or understanding of market realities - Leadership teams are disconnected from day-to-day operations and shielded from feedback - Internal politics dominate, creating a culture of fear and self-preservation - Key values like inclusion and transparency are used for branding but not reflected in behaviour - Employees are exited without context or explanation, creating anxiety across teams - HR acts more as compliance enforcement than employee support
