Pros
  • You can work as much (or as little) as you want.
  • Great place for people who want a relaxed job and focus on other priorities in life.
  • Good colleagues.
Cons

Technical and professional growth is very slow. There is more time spent dealing with red tape than doing work that matters.

Weak middle management with minimum value add.

It seems like finance has the final say in each and every decision made by the company; "NO" is the only word in their dictionary.

Steadily declining employee morale.

Advice to Management

Invest in talent and innovation, and create a more transparent and agile, and therefore more productive, work environment.
