Business Outlook

Pros

Strong evolution towards Diversity, Equality and Inclusion. Strong commitment of leadership team to move towards a healthy management environment. Strong benefits offer beyond salary.

Cons

The frequent restructuring phases for the past 2 years are leading to insecurity and a lack of visibility on career development opportunities. A lot of energy is put internally, ie. into reorganising - Not enough towards the market, business and clients.
