Reviews about "work life balance"
Return to all Reviews- 3.0Jun 10, 2022Finance ManagerCurrent Employee, more than 5 years
Pros
Flexibility to work from anywhere, most people are really great to work with. Good communication from ELT.
Cons
Finance tools very inefficient and outdated. Work life balance highly dependent on the team you are in and who you work with. Since most finance teams are a 'business partnering' function, the business partners you work with may dictate your work atmosphere and work life balance. For me, work life balance is lacking with constantly changing deliverables, unclear processes, everything being a priority all at once, and team members working 12+ hours daily.
