Good learning space, but growth opportunity is limited

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Co-workers are generally professional and are willing to support one another. There's a lot of structure/SOP so it's easy for someone to join and learn the ropes quickly.

Cons

More time spent on risk management rather than innovation. It's operates more like an SME actually.
