Pros

Leadership is transparent and open to feedback. Much of the feedback gets direct responses and, where appropriate, action. I feel like the work I do matters and is cared about.

Cons

Work load can be quite high, and work/life balance is hard to manage.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good company overall. Perks and the environment are good too

Cons

It has changed its procedures and it´s got too many policies and rules to follow. Which doesn´t help much with the criativity of the employers. What used to take a few days to get settled it takes too long loosing the purpose of the project most of the times.
