Good company - too much internal politics

Consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good Benefits, great office, great canteen

Cons

Too much internal politics and power hungry management. Reorganizations are happening all the time (5 in 4 years, at some point I lost track of my department's name) decreasing stability just because senior management cares more about their own power than company's goals.
