Good atmosphere to work in, not sure about higher-level organisation

Project manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

People are mostly very friendly, the environment is relaxed, dynamic working is a big pro, and my team was super supportive with helping my development

Cons

Unsure on career progression routes and organisation from the top level can be a bit manic. Great place on an individual level but if you're striving for a lot maybe not the best place

There are pockets of good but bad behaviours across functions can make it miserable

Project manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits. Dynamic leave. Effort to keep people engaged in the business. Great visibility of seniors .throughout the year.

Cons

If you're looking for a typical project manager role here, you're unlikely to find it. All accountability but no respect for the function or delegation to be empowered to deliver. Too many file sharing systems. Great central training but lack of community sharing within functions which hinders project delivery. Objectives are not challenging and do not encourage development. Therefore motivation is challenging. No clear development paths communicated to individuals. You have to be lucky to have clarity on your future.
