Pros

Flexible working hours. Friendly environment with great facilities in a beautiful location good for walking. Onsite sports and social facilities.

Corrupt management. No clear direction - lines always blurred to cover own tracks. A manager that lies their way out of a sticky situation. No retention of staff. Employees feel undervalued and unsupported. No protection from work overload.
