Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of opportunities to move around the company into new roles. Pretty good life/work balance.

Cons

This place is falling apart under new leadership. There is no direction or consistency across the company. Major cost-cutting objectives have deprioritized customers and employees. Forced return to office for 5 days is killing the spirit.
