Not a good work/life balance for me!

Business Outlook

Pros

Big company (with good cash flow) that has a wide range of projects and opportunities

Cons

Big company that is not flexible and adapt to the current market and technology available. I moved in UK because of the fact that my home country department was closed. I am still doing >90% of the work at a desk while being away from my family. That's why the work/Life Balance is not acceptable for me.
