Fair leave policy, but talent goes unrecognized. Don't recommend working here.

Business Outlook

Pros

They have a fair leave policy

Cons

They don't promote talent, but instead promote good 'ol boys and brown nosers and burden the hard workers and talented employees in processes and rules. I've seen senior management take credit for others hard work and hide their own mistakes. I wouldn't recommend working here.
