Business Outlook

Pros

Great colleagues, possibility of remote work

Cons

Incompetent management with no real experience in their roles, looking only for titles and promotions. Very high turnover rate, many people leaving within months of starting position. Mobbing culture with unhelpful HR protecting upper management from repercussions. No real understanding of the market, regulatory strategy or customer needs.
