Pros

Most of the people are good to work with and collaborative. Aims for work/life balance with 2 day work from home option. Lots of opportunities to move and try different roles and to have exposure with senior management.

Cons

People are stretched too thin due to lean environment. Some managers are in their positions due to years of experience but have no people management skills or training.
