Thank you for your review – it is great to hear that you had the opportunity to work with talented individuals in an international commercial environment, as we do strive to provide our colleagues with such opportunities. Regarding your comments around ‘unclear’ prospects, we do encourage promotions from within, however we have identified a need for more structure around career progression and have developed career paths for all roles in the business.
