    A challenging yet rewarding place to work that has some further developments to improve the experience.
    The good thingsThe good team of people who you get to work with.

    An overworked stress-filled experience that left me pessimistic and depressed about myself, my career and my colleagues. I was more than happy to leave.
    The good thingsGood humored staff. Good leave allowances. Reasonable salary. Fantastic onsite cafeteria.
    The challengesHigh work loads and expectations meaning very poor work life balance. Many unsatisfied employees. Many inadequate and unsafe buildings. Unreasonable and inefficient executive team.
