Friendly colleagues and good pay, but less flexibility

Senior engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Colleagues are friendly and helpful. Pay is good as per in top tier.

Cons

Recent change in policy reduced the flexibility it used to offer. Fixed office time and additional client/Kent other office meetings make it more hectic. No easy track of Go-by information.
