      Company is too conservative

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good salary & benefits. No dress code.

      Cons

      Very slow or no promotions. Men are rather put into leadership and managing roles than women. Very stubborn, conservative and inflexible management. Constant work overload. No motivation from management. Employees (especially women) are rarely trusted by management with enough authority to get the job done.

      A mixed bag

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Challenging and interesting work, for the first 1-2 years. Interns and graduates are relied on to help deliver key projects. Colleagues are friendly and willing to help with questions. There are lots of sports opportunities - often more than one at each lunch time, and the office culture is to take a full hour's break at noon.

      Cons

      Slow promotions and requirement to fully prove capability before being allowed to move into new roles. Stubborn and inflexible management. Constant work overload. Constant changing of priorities, as events are often elevated to 'emergency' status unnecessarily. If you are not part of the lunchtime sports culture, then you are less likely to be given opportunities. Employees are rarely trusted by management with enough authority to effectively get their jobs done. No annual bonus (you usually get a Christmas turkey).
