Business Outlook

Pros

One of the best benefits package you can find (including specialist outpatient benefits, wellness benefit to pay for gym membership for instance) Young and fun environment Open Culture - Pantry Nice events, ie Summer Party

Cons

Opportunities not given adequately by management Not enough transparency within department Lousy increment and bonus Management shows favourtism If you are asked to relocate, no relocation compensation is given. Skill set not transferrable, people out there see us as a vendor. Whenever you go to meet clients, clients don't greet us by name and say "Bloomberg is here".
