Pros

Good progression opportunities, dynamic & demanding culture with a big investment in skills development. Global scale means that if you are willing to make sacrifices you can go where your ambition and talent takes you.

Cons

Culture can be somewhat dog-eat-dog at times, during my time there it was myopic on results and felt like quite an uncaring attitude to human factors, more often than not this depended on who you reported to rather than policy. Could be a very impersonal place to work

Pros

The people I worked alongside were the best part of the job.

Cons

While my early experience was positive, my experience changed significantly over time. Communication and the application of workplace policies became less consistent, and the work environment felt increasingly micromanaged. Workplace changes and employee transitions were not always handled in a way that felt transparent or consistent. In my experience, compensation and annual raises did not keep pace with employee contributions or expectations. I also believe the company could do more to recognize and support long-term employees, especially during periods of change. It was a reminder that the end of an employee’s experience often reflects the culture just as much as the beginning.
