Pros

The team were all welcoming, forward thinking and extremely professional. There is massive scope for professional/self improvement via provided educational opportunities. The company understands the pressures veterans face during their transition into civilian life. You are given scope to use initiative and investigate your ideas.

Cons

I believe our information/knowledge management could be improved. This could be something as simple as tidying up shared areas and creating a more effective record/archive system so we know which documents are still work in progress and the most up-to-date version. One version of the truth! We need to be more proactive in our processes and methodologies. Everybody is so busy that it is very easy to slip into a daily routine where you're either producing or fire fighting. We need to ensure that there is time to review, reflect and improve.
