Pros

Tons of opportunity for those willing to make serious a serious commitment to the company and to their career. Many locations and different industries allows for continual new experiences.

Cons

Extreme amount of time preparing powerpoint presentations for majority of all internal meetings. High value within management placed upon those who develop internally through leadership programs such as FMP and CAS which makes it difficult for experienced hires to gain traction within the company. Limited ability to move from controllership roles into core finance.

Business Outlook

Pros

- a wide variety of industry opportunities, in a wide variety of roles - you are in charge of your own career (up through senior professional band) - you get to work with and network with outstanding people, experts in pretty much every speciality are always less than the proverbial "six degrees of separation" away from you.

Cons

- glass ceiling, promotion to E-band (executive) band based on political approval, not competency or performance - company now has way too much adherence to corporate ideology (e.g. diversity, healthymagination, ecomagination), this trumps sound business results-based performance management - way too much bureaucracy, too much time wasted on corporate standarization

Pros

High exposure to both customer and coporate leader; fantastic learning opportunities and internal training; respected by competitiors and customers; comparatively less bureaucratic;

Cons

The organization structure changed so fast and the senior leaders are somehow conservative in new initiatives due to the strict requirement for the performences; lower pay compared with peer companies
