Pros

- 40% discount - Opportunity to learn about different areas of the business

Cons

- Snr Leadership (VP up) super inexperienced: chaotic decision making, lack of proper strategy, no idea how to steer a business through headwinds. - Very chaotic working environment with constantly changing priorities. - Everyone is super stressed with high workloads, but as management aren’t leading, very little actually achieved: huge number of projects abandoned mid-way etc - CEOs really rude and dismissive of colleagues with genuine concerns, when most of problems seem to come from CEOs own inexperience and lack of vision
