Pros

Flexible, understanding when you have a family, opportunity to progress

Cons

Very poorly managed. Seems like the most illogical decisions are made just for the powers that be within the departments to show they’re in charge. Lots of changes to different with very little training. Extremely stats driven, very little regard for quality.
