Business Outlook

Pros

Work-life balance and camaraderie among your peers

Cons

Lack of vision or understanding of the business model. No career path neither opportunity for development. The lack of vision and experience of most of the individuals holding a leadership and team management position are cultivating a culture of silos, chaos and division. It is an extremely political environment for such a small company
