Pros

Share Scheme Cycle To Work Electric Vehicle Scheme Free Food

Cons

No HR Department. A manager having a HR Degree does not count for an HR department. No IT department. Someone who is good with computers is not an IT department. It simply means you're cutting costs and making someone do two jobs. GDPR mishaps, perhaps wise not to share customer data in slack channels which can be photographed. The company needs a huge professional change immediately, currently like working in a crèche.
