    In general sense, an excellent company to work for, that cares for their employees
    The good thingsI enjoyed opportunities with PM in terms of roles, locations, and variation. Education and courses were available to assist advancement
    The challenges- Managing a difficult product - New fresh ideas - Toward the end of my 25 year career, balancing an incestuous upper management team that had personal relationships with some of my subordinates. Apart from this issue the majority of management particularly in the early to mid years was excellent

    Your future is in you managers hands
    The good thingsGreat benefits and your team mates make the journey worthwhile.
    The challengesUnfortunately the downside to working here is perception. You could get the job done in a highly efficient manner and high standard however if there are manamgent people who just don’t like you for what ever reason, you will never be recognised for the work. Great benefits and work life balance but the sad reality is that your future is with management, not necessarily your work standard.
