Business Outlook

Pros

- Supportive, friendly company culture - Work/life balance was good until COVID-19 hit - Work-from-home available during COVID-19 since April/2020

Cons

- Big company = more processes before any major change can be implemented - Not enough notice/communication during COVID-19 department restructuring, so there is little-to-no training available to cover responsibilities of other employees who have been let go - E-Learn training modules are conducted on 2 different LMS systems with inaccurate tracking behaviour
