Business Outlook

Pros

The people are nice although there are quite a few cliques within the business. The dress code is relaxed but it's important to be smart casual when working there.

Cons

Too much micromanagement of employees, leads to work taking too long to process. As a business there seems to be a significant risk averseness when it comes to making important decisions within the organisation. This could be perceived as a lack of trust towards employees. The IT system is also notoriously slow and compared to other major organisations is archaic.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits. If you have the right manager, it can be a supportive environment. Trial by fire means quick learning curves.

Cons

Continual restructures, layoffs, and forcing out of staff in favor of external replacements. Lip service paid to diversity projects but only one notable senior manager (the trumpted hiring of the first female EoC of Nature) reflects change. Knowledge drain in all departments. Extremely low morale in many business areas.
