Business Outlook

Pros

The company itself is good to work for and a lot of fun with perks like free food

Cons

Management is all over the place with some questionable decision making skills, often rushing things and then having to pull them back. Inter-department communication also made it difficult to do the job. Huge amounts of negative changes to job role and compensation once I started.
