OK but room for improvement

Pros

- There are some smart people in the company. - The programs/projects are generally interesting and challenging. - Opportunities to travel and relocate internationally.

Cons

- Multiple acquisitions have resulted in a fragmented company without a clear direction. Strategies have been defined but in reality company direction is based on today's opportunities. Direction also very much depends on local leadership, their sometimes limited understanding of the local organisation and perhaps short-term KPI's. - In an attempt to get a grip on the organisation an large number of policies and systems have been introduced which requires a large support team to operate and maintain this system. As a result the organisation is sluggish and too many stakeholders are involved in most decisions. - There's a high dependency on UK staff flying in regularly or relocating, especially for more strategic positions.

Everybody seems friendly enough, saving a fortune on high street barista coffee chains.... ................oh and the training is good, the support from the line management is there when you ask for it and as I sit somewhere new every day I am getting to meet lots of new, interesting colleagues.

Cons

None as yet as in first two weeks but watch this space!
