Business Outlook

Pros

Good salary and benefits are provided

Cons

Company has become far too liberal. Promotions are based more on gender rather than knowledge and talent. Liberal initiatives, LGBTQI, climate change, diversity etc....are pushed onto employees. Do not speak out because you will be labelled a trouble-maker.
