How employees describe working at CSL
The interview was one on one and welcomed my questions.
The leadership team cares about staff.
Employees and team members are good and work hard. Good work culture. However to get promoted, one needs to be strongly connected with leadership inner circle and be seen. That can be hard depending on which team one is in. Long work hours, early start and late finish sometimes. Strong politics
It's like getting paid to be abused and insulted every day of your life.
My benefits are top of the market
