Too big and inflexible

Business Outlook

Pros

Clearly trying to care about and motivate staff through focus on things like safety and suicide prevention. Offices usually conveniently located.

Cons

Company is too big and too inflexible to change. Very difficult to make an inroads as an outsider to the industry. Induction process is more about how you will become like the institution than what value you can add. Too many unecessary internal meetings.
