Great for lawyers, not business teams

Business team

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Prestigious business and excellent perks. Seems like a great place for lawyers.

Cons

Little to no progression for most business team members, so you can expect entire teams to be let go and replaced. Poorly designed BT structures results in constant change, as well as confusion about who's responsible for what.
