      Pros

      Flexibility Hybrid working- although you are forced into the office on set days and attendance is monitored

      Cons

      Toxic work culture driven by MD level leadership “Yes person” culture. If you challenge the status quo you will be sidelined Very cliquey at senior levels so the most toxic people hold the most sway A lot of red tape which makes it very slow to deliver Locked down laptops that limit what you can find online to support A lot of micromanagement
