Extremely collaborative and transparent internally
Training and learning taken seriously
Efficiency and lean streaming in managing approach
Core objectives and company values truly drive business
Desventajas
Limitations due to working with LU - bureaucracy and lots of papershifting
Unfortunately this meant that many great ideas just stayed ideas and never make it to application
Making a real difference to the city; Mostly Good people; Canary Wharf office has great views and culture fairly relaxed.
Desventajas
The internal politics - largely due to the management structure; senior managers were mostly "secondees" from the "shareholders" with loyalty to their actual employers which often left questions of conflict with the interests of both the business and TFL; not a massive problem but it did affect some of the decisions.
Socially, there was an unfortunate "them and us" culture caused by an over-reliance on graduate schemes/acceleration; a bit cliquey with regular cases where family members ended up getting each other jobs. The same surnames cropped up a lot in some departments which could be disconcerting if you were not part of these cliques.
