Business Outlook

Pros

A dynamic, fast moving culture that fully supports a work-from-home model and a leadership team that coaches while challenging you to always improve.

Cons

Even at 20years the culture feels like a start-up. But that's not always the best approach for every role and function. But as a culture, the teams are always looking for ways to improve.

There is so much opportunity I almost always feel compelled to work long and hard days to ensure we move as fast as we need to go.
