Business Outlook

Pros

Opportunity to be part of a global company; opportunities to work cross-practice; supportive colleagues. Lots of emphasis on team building and social activities and intelligent an interesting colleagues.

Cons

Can be long hours and a lack of support from the most senior staff, the fact that the company issues mobile phones that don't work and then expect you to respond when you are out of the office

Business Outlook

Pros

Very passionate and caring individuals. Not a self promoting culture. Leaders/managers open to other views and ideas. Have an idea? - develop it, get buy in, take ownership and execute.

Cons

Opportunity for more direct and honest feedback throughout the year. Practices are a bit silo-ed - more communication across the agency would be beneficial and foster a greater sense of community outside of our practice groups.
