Confused environment

Pros

Pretty Offices, great places to go to for lunch, team members are hard working, collaborative and intelligent.

Cons

Management has no clue what's going on but quick to point blame, praises lazy people who don't do any work, there's criticism towards those who do try to make sense of the confusion and in some cases fire people who work hard because they don't shout loud enough about the work they do. Some managers are unwilling or afraid of change, unwilling to collaborate or engage with their teams and better yet accuse those who do engage of not engaging. No sense of organisation or leadership responsibilities, staff afraid to speak up on wrong doings and some are suffering in silence afraid to lose their jobs.

Good on paper but reality is different

Pros

Flexibility and friendly colleagues. Good variety of work.

Cons

A very gradist organisation. Although there are good processes in place, it is not for junior roles. An example work from home is widely publicized but only for senior roles. Internal recruitment is not impartial as in most of the times, the hiring manager has " a candidate" in line, so very unfair and it is conducted by manager without much of HR skils.

Pros

A big organisation doing important and interesting work. Lots of variation available and some opportunities if you fit in.

Cons

It's too big and is always changing. Not enough stability at the top and lots of large programs that have failed.
