Pros
Generally, it’s a good place to work. The processes are effective, and the organisation has a strong track record of successfully implementing them. There are good teams in place and strong directors at the division level who help keep things moving. However, the recent wave of top level changes has made day to day work more challenging and at times introduced what feels like unnecessary bureaucracy.
Cons
Limited opportunities for pay progression, with salaries significantly below market rates for comparable roles, which contributes to staff leaving for better career advancement. There is an unwillingness to move away from the rigid, traditional line‑of‑succession structure, where it’s assumed that each team can only have one specific position. This mindset prevents flexibility and limits opportunities for people to develop or progress. If you want to retain 'talent' then they should actually act upon it. Management structure feels overly top‑heavy and bureaucratic. Decision making at senior levels is often slow. Instances of bullying have not always been addressed effectively.
