Good perks but high pressure stats

Business Outlook

Pros

People are lovely and very casual environment. Can earn pay increases by specialising in certain fields instead of doing a linear path. Development is very encouraged.

Cons

Stats focused and first 6 months probation can feel very overwhelming. Once you hit a year it’s much more manageable and becomes a lot easier.
