Pros

Salary and benefits package Genuinely a 'big' company Opportunity to work with market leading brands Opportunities to progress both domestic & international

Cons

Internal politics more important than external customers "executive" style culture e.g having to make the right 'friends' internally Holier-than-thou company values that weren't followed and felt patronising Lack of autonomy in job role - lots of unneccesary approval layers Colleagues mostly graduate 'yes men' in company mould

Pros

The colleagues I worked with were great, friendly, helpful. Because the colleagues were great, I'd love to work there full-time, but this was a short contract.

Cons

The supervisor I was ultimately working for had never worked in digital-related products, in which I had decades of experience. He seemed to be unaware of what every colleague would be telling me (I was interviewing colleagues using a software the manager was intending to propose use for firm-wide). Both the colleagues I interviewed, and the internal technical staff I was speaking with knew the project would not function as he seemed intent on ... forcing(?) it do so. I gave him the resulting report of its users' feedback, and I was finished with my contract. He had gone through 2 other women in this same role, already. And he hired a male after me who delivered esentially the same results. Because I wasn't there, I have no idea of the dream outcome this manager attained, or switched to, later.
