Pros

A company culture that promotes a positive outlook at work, Work/Life balance, genuine interest in employees' welfare, plenty of learning and development opportunities provided to all

Cons

Above the front-line co-worker level you have a lot of managers who are mostly interested in justifying their own existence rather than moving the company forward. Employees like the low pressure atmosphere but it's not probably the best way to grow the business, but oh well, I am not really complaining.

Pros

I have a very empathetic and flexible manager. Although I do meet the requirement to be in office three days a week many others do not and don’t seem to suffer for it. My work can be challenging at times, but due to the slow pace of most things here I rarely feel overwhelmed.

Cons

This is, without equivocation, the most sclerotic organization I have ever been a part of. The management structure and reporting lines are inscrutable and even after 3 years I barely understand how my team fits into the larger picture. My job is a data role, and although getting access to data has improved somewhat, it is still one of my biggest blockers.
