Business Outlook

Pros

At first it started well due to the environment being still a startup where everybody is treated like family and everybody's input is important. But as NASDAQ acquired our company and the company grew, it became more like an American corporate and more business, less fun, too much by the book

Cons

Management focusing too much on results, not people building nor team building
