Pros

Cons
I'd barely started before younger members on the team warned me of the toxic nature of the business. It then didn't take me long to witness this for myself. Senior members would hold regular meetings that would last for long periods of time where you left with no idea as to what was needed to be done. It was an open secret that older staff were staying just to hold onto their pensions. They were constantly having fallouts and being moved into different teams and this game of chess was constant. Senior managers hired friends into the business and they would openly speak about other team members. Their highly unprofessional attitude was ignored as everyone just looked out for themselves. The digital division was wildly under skilled and staff decided to point fingers and blame, rather than looking inward and trying to change their ways. They wanted key decisions to be made with little to no data or context provided. Systems were not managed properly and huge budgets were handed to agencies who did the bulk of the work. If you're young don't be enticed by a good wage because you'll never last in such a toxic environment.
