CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice colleagues you can learn from, pretty new tech stack (though rather very basic one), good office location

Cons

Ways of working are being constantly changed; priorities too; often one initiative overrides the other; management states it values employee input, though that feedback is rarely reflected in decisions
