Not a global company- a British one

Business Outlook

Pros

The nature of what this firm does is interesting and needed in the world.

Cons

There is nothing global about this company- it’s language, culture, communications, style and management team are all highly British in nature. If they are seeking to be diverse, they have missed the mark.

Pros

Friendly, wonderful work environment. Supervisors are hands off, yet responsive, caring, and eager to help you thrive. Work is constantly interesting and changing, yet CR helps you adapt. Benefits are best I've ever had.

Cons

Could use a little more communication/clarity from HR or certain benefits, leave policies, updates, etc.
