Pros

Some great people who work there. As a global company, you get to work with people from all cultures and countries.

Cons

Slow moving and difficult to change. Poor decisions of the past make changes very difficult to implement. Even though these senIor managers are gone, the effect of those decisions cannot be overcome without adequate resources being allocated.

We encourage open and honest dialogues within teams but at times this can be difficult. We are formalizing a review process that will help facilitate healthy dialogues throughout the organization.

Work with some very intelligent people.

Cons

Tights budgets mean over utilized people which is not sustainable long term. No clear paths for career progression.
