Business Outlook

Pros

Friendly and encouraging atmosphere, relatively stress free. The Work/life balance is absolutely great with flexible work hours. No one asks any questions as long as the work is getting done and the deadlines are met.

Cons

The HR department is a joke, a group of lazy and misinformed people who could not care less about you or your problems. Too many pointless meetings.
