CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good management, good company, core values, mission. AE job allows technical people to learn about business communication and business.

Cons

People don't leave, and management doesn't shake things up, so there can be alot of 'dead-wood' as you get further up in the hierarchy.

Business Outlook

Pros

Stable and fair. The company takes care of the employeers. Your career development are taken seriously and is documented. The opinion of your co-workes that your interact with have a part in your opportunity for growth and promotion. The company culture is very open and horisontal. Access to upper management is very easy.

Cons

There are sometimes too many processes. Things do not happen over night. You have to be patient and wait for changes. it should not take that long to inforce changes. The decision making within the company is too centralized. The different culture differences in other countries is not taken in to consideration when changes are made.
