Pros
Colleagues are supportive, professional and hard-working, creating a genuinely positive atmosphere among the team. Good flexibility with working hours and holidays.
Cons
The main challenge comes from supervisory management. The general consensus within a certain team is that supervisors appear to lack sufficient training and management experience, which continuously creates on-going problems in communication, decision-making and leadership. There are frequent examples of unprofessional behaviour in interactions with staff, including dismissive and patronising communication. This makes it difficult to raise any concerns or have constructive conversations about anything. There are also noticeable levels of favouritism in how responsibilities and opportunities are distributed, and mandatory 1-on-1 meetings are cancelled to provide time for only certain individuals to provide growth. Team members are not fairly or respectfully treated (under certain supervision, there are some great supervisors).
