Pros

Trust and collaboration are key here. No idea is a bad idea, and you are given the freedom to make the most out of every opportunity. Shape it yourself.

Cons

This is a large organisation so it's not always easy to get everyone around a table. That said, the working culture is prepared for this, so it doesn't hold us back.

Thank you very much for your review. Our culture is very unique and special to us and so this type of positive feedback is really valuable. We certainly agree that trust and collaboration are important to the organisation and we are so pleased to know you feel you have the freedom to make the most out of opportunities. We do understand it can be difficult to get everyone together and we are glad to know you feel this isn't a set back. We have put so much emphasis on internal communication lately that it's exciting to hear from you that it's working. Thank you!
