Business Outlook

Pros

Committed, interesting, passionate staff. Interesting professional development opportunities if you are lucky and work hard to seek them out.

Cons

Management skills are poor, especially among most senior management. Top leadership lacks vision, is hostile to women's leadership, and is poor at change management while attempting change on multiple fronts.
