Business Outlook

Pros

Culture of entrepreneurship, delegated responsibilities and trust. Family environment , but still professional. It is a great place to work - although not flamboyant. Leadership is a guiding principle and the company normally lives by the principles. Ethical outlook and always compliant. Due to conservatism built into the DNA, the company is a safe financial bet. Long term orientation in the decisions.

Cons

Unstructured HR policies - so if you are looking at a 'career path' you can forget it. No structured training / skill development initiatives. Low risk apetite especially in new ventures. The norm is to go slow, but be sure. This can be quite frustrating. Not a class leader when it comes to compensation
