Generally a good place to work

Senior manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of job variety, flexible working on hours and location, interesting people and roles, opportunities for development. Good salary.

Cons

Onboarding new staff is difficult. IT equipment and connectivity can be very poor. Office locations are overcrowded and unsuitable. Hot desking policy doesn't really work well. Often there is too much procrastination amongst some staff, and many "housekeeping" services (ie. booking meeting rooms/arranging events) are very difficult and overly bureaucratic.
