Pros

Wonderful welcome, and colleagues who are truly friendly and collaborative with the benefit of the company in mind. The offices and office managers are out of this world when it comes to making employees feel like they are valued - I have not seen anything else near it in my 25 year working career. Still yet to find a colleague who isn't truly effective and good at what they do. The flexibility the company offers working location and the working from anywhere program is a gamechanger and something worth staying long-term for. Inspiring.

Cons

Can't think of one yet.
