Pros

Salary above average and hardly anything else

Cons

Understaffed all the time - you do the job of multiple people Incompetent management Bureaucratic monotonic work Promotions superslow (everyone rather quits) Very nervous atmosphere IT is from 90s Controls are everywhere, they have cameras behind your back (literally) Located outside of Krakow - need to travel by train

Pros

Lots of unqualified and inexperienced people in the Change Team. Easy to make a positive impact.

Cons

Incompetent leaders and junior people promoted for no real reason. Attending my first town hall was laughable. There were 4 or 5 directors patting themselves on the back, proclaiming how they were going to implement some very basic ideas. What were they doing before? The person in charge of the UK Ops Change team had no formal project / programme management training or qualifications and minimal change experience.
