Comfortable experience, however lack of opportunity to take risk in pursuit of breakthrough ideas drives innovators away

Strategy manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Safe and comfortable environment, most people don't work too hard. The remuneration is very competitive. Great place to work when you can find a team of good people within it.

Cons

Slow career progression in the absence of a senior "sponsor". Very risk averse organisation - very few opportunities to take risks in pursuit of breakthrough ideas. This is an organisation intent on reinforcing past success as opposed to investing in innovation. Decisions are generally to be avoided, as there are limited consequences to making non-decisions. When decisions are take it is usually after a period of "analysis paralysis" where hundreds of powerpoint slides are generated. Inspirational leaders tend to "self select" out of the organisation.

Huge, very well financed corporation

Cons

Terribly mismanaged assignment. Bureaucracy and red tape were by far the most dysfunctional I have every seen in 30 years of corporate experience.

Very professional organisation with great corporate presence, upper quartile compensation / benefits and a good attitude to work / life balance. Excellent development policies, technical career ladder and global opportunities for those that want them. This really is a good employer.

Cons

Apart from 1SAP (using it makes life tedious) there are no cons that I can think of.....
