Business Outlook

Pros

The company offers very good employee benefits, such as 6 months of full pay Maternity leave or 75% of travel subsidy (only rail). Also there is a flexible working dynamic inbeded

Cons

As a large and publicly reclassified organisation, I find tedious how slow sometimes processes can be. We need approval for nearly everything and the number of people in approval chain seems endless
