      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good benefits package, pension, annual leave and sick leave. Opportunities for training are well supported. Much of the workforce are genuinely passionate about doing a good job and it is easy to make friends here.

      Cons

      Recruitment process is widely known to be corrupt and managers will frequently create a position for a friend and only interview that friend. Often they are even interviewing their friends themselves in open breach of iEthics; which does not seem to be enforced.
