      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The Science & Technology division are working on some interesting problems in digital scientific communication. There are many smart and interesting people.

      Cons

      Vanishingly little investment in staff training, retention, and promotion. HR is devastatingly under-resourced, which means their only role is obstructionist and cost-control. No effort was made to retain or develop existing staff after big layoffs. Training is non-existent. Hiring managers can hire externally far easier than internally. Promotion of staff from line work to management are actively discouraged. Senior management spend huge effort to convince customers their big profits are justified but they haven't convinced employees.
