Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits and generous amount of company holidays. A lot of the people you work with are really great and become genuine friends. Bonuses are very solid.

Cons

Management needs to stop breathing down employees necks and taking any suggestion for change as a personal attack. Zero flexibility.
