Hello, thank you for taking the time to write a review. I cannot agree more that there is a good work life balance here and we empower our people to be responsible for their work (entrepreneurial spirit). Therefore, there is no need to have micromanagement. SGS is an open culture company, you should feel free to speak to your manager about your concerns. Keep up the great work! Tanya
