Pros
- The pay isn't too bad, especially if you end up in a higher pay group due to your office location/job family. - Very good pension contribution - if you contribute 6%, LBG add 15%. (Although if you're CEO Charlie Nunn, you can get your full 15% without contributing anything!) - Bearing in mind it is dependant on your manager/job role, but very little micromanagement in current role. Largely left to own devices and can work independently. - Decent work/life balance (but they are trying to erode that now with compressed hours)
Cons
- Great importance is placed on "being visible." Showing off and telling others what you're doing, rather than doing the actual work. If you get on and do work quietly (and complete the work to a good standard) you will be told people don't think you're doing enough. - Little awareness of neurodiversity. Previously been told I should do training on being "less introverted." - Lots of virtue-signalling from upper management. Very cringey and hypocritical. They are also shockingly out of touch. CEO receives bonuses of over a million. - Forcing everyone to come to the office twice a week and give up compressed hours, despite widespread employee dissatisfaction and survey results. Pretend to care about people's feedback but it's always disregarded. Censoring people asking questions on Q&As on calls. - Dishonest and lack of transparency when trying to persuade people to give up their compressed hours. People have given them up thinking it's mandatory. - Not much space for progression. A lot of E grades are taken up by people waiting for retirement.
