Pros
Space to develop your own skills Trust to do a good job, no micromanagement Great pay and reasonable benefits Generally opinions will be listened to Good work life balance towards the life side.
Kontras
Poor/absence of structured Personal Development. Skill degradation due to specialist work almost always subcontracted. Communistic approach to performance - everyone gets the same, little incentive to go above and beyond. No social engagement because of WFH culture encourages people to not talk to each other - most people have poor/little to no social skills. Lots of talk about training & skills but reality is different: little to no interest, support or guidance in allowing colleagues to learn the new technical, specialist skills they desire. Developing a career is outweighed towards home life balance. Focus/support is always to those with families/children, not single child free people who want to develop their careers. People are encouraged to do the bare minimum.
