Pros

Broad multi-discipline experience - parts of the company are underresourced and chaotic so you end up doing a lot outside of your role and learning new things.

Cons

The part of the company I worked in was new and disorganised. I had a very difficult boss (who is a senior manager). He made big promises about my future at my interview but turned out to be so condescending, disparaging, sexist and narcissistic that I often cried after work. He terminated my employment on the last day of my probation period because I didn’t meet his needs (but perhaps also because I complained informally to HR) and I was immediately walked out of the office.

Not a good place to work as a female

Pros

Interesting work, good experience

Cons

Very difficult place to break into as a woman compared to other builders, deeply engrained boys club mentality among senior management in some parts of the company. I am a highly experienced, qualified professional and have never been made to feel so inferior in a team of men before.
