Business Outlook

Pros

Good work-life balance, whilst also having promotion opportunities. Nice colleagues, plus a nice environment to work in

Cons

Lack of structured management and no clear direction/communication. Unsustainable workloads, worsened by failure to replace personnel who have left - really feels disorganised at times
