A lot of change at the top, average internal comms

Business outlook

Pros

Prestigious brand Very flexible and supportive of work/life balance

Cons

There is a lot of change at top management level. It seems like every day they announce some manager is leaving. It is slow for changes to trickle down to everyday workers. If you want to make a change in your team or get some new equipment approved, it takes a long time.
