Business Outlook

Pros

Still great benefits, great colleagues, flexible work conditions, home office well established

Cons

Leadership is almost inexistent. Middle management is clinging to their jobs without any ambitions or vision, unwilling to take any risk spending most of their time to please their superiors. Too many line managers are micromanagers and administrators.
