Pros
Location, work life balance and positive leadership.
Cons
Opaque remuneration strategy and leadership structure.
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Good colleagues and good work life balance.
Cons
Bias management, cannot express your opinion or view without being shut down. Higher up management failing to deal with serious issues and also failing to provide any emotional or mental support. Under paid compared to other firms and also over worked at month end, too much expected from people without asking them.
