Good benefits. Company culture is less bureaucratic than others. Member of staff are genuinely helpful and care about your career progression. A lot of ways to learn and progress through their employee platforms.

Can get too absorbed within your team, without looking outwards to other departments to get more of a holistic view of the company.

Carry on the good work!

Pros
The general staff are lovely. At present there are no office politics which makes for a great environment. Beautiful setting for an office
Cons
Although beautiful setting, office out of town so not convenient for lunchtime shopping if needed. Management are Not people managers. They have absolutely no idea how to motivate or encourage. Very economical with the truth at interview over hrs and evening working. No plan, chaotic management lots of knee jerk reactions
Advice to Management
Be honest at interview with realistic expectations over hrs. Line managers really need to understand what their teams roles are. Remember your people, who are amazing, are your greatest asset. Without them the company is nothing, you can't afford to lose them.
