Pros

There were limited positive aspects during my time, with very few standout examples worth highlighting.

Cons

Leadership often relies on intimidation rather than support, creating a toxic and stressful work environment. The leadership style can feel overly directive, with little openness to feedback or challenge, and upward feedback is often blocked rather than considered. At times there is a lack of consistent managerial support, including periods without a direct manager. Promotions do not always appear to be based on experience or skills, which affects morale. IT project expectations can feel unrealistic, and employees are sometimes expected to cover responsibilities beyond their roles, including for colleagues who are insufficiently managed or supported. Not to mention mention the IT support...
