Business Outlook

Pros

Great projects and a chance to work with excellent people from all over the world Friendly, informal and "family" style atmosphere Ability to do what you want with little top-down interference

Cons

Very little focus on career development, you are very much left to your own devices In-house training is straight from the 90s, and little opportunity for external training Leadership is absent and very cliquey, ultimately having little to no interest in staff at lower levels
