Pros

The business is full of amazing, skilful and helpful people. This is extremely unique but so powerful to continue to grow as an organisation.

Cons

Only one (slight) improvement I would like to see is the number of sick days been removed. I am very rarely ill, but it certainly helps not having to potentially having to worry about that.
