Great projects, badly run company

Business Outlook

Pros

Talented people, exciting projects and high profile clients. I really enjoy the project and client interaction part of the job. The company is pretty flexible about work hours and allows you to work per your own convenience.

Cons

Bad management, lack of senior leadership. The company really needs to think long term and stop making knee jerk reactions.
