Great people for the most part

Cons

Can't say exactly what, but they tried to force me to do something that could have landed me in a courtroom. Had to quit immediately.

Pros

Work life balance is good, flexible work hours and WFH. Great people to work with, very knowledgeable and helpful

Cons

Workload is really high, made worse by lack of personnel across the business. Most people seem to do more than one role as they have to plug gaps. Senior leadership changes regularly & don't take action to address the concerns of those under them
