Business outlook

Pros

Benefits, Pension, hybrid working are good. Pleasant culture although quite bureaucratic.

Cons

I earn less than I did 10 years ago, despite being promoted a couple of times. Bonuses are now very small or zero and pay increases, if you get any, rarely match inflation. This is despite me objectively performing to a high standard and after many others have been made redundant.
