Business Outlook

Pros

Strong on career development and providing employees with the opportunity to get knowledge from across the business. Good company if want to work overseas.

Cons

There are many layers of management and some central service departs are silos of bureaucracy. Can be very slow at making simple decisions as the culture if very 'softly softly' when comes down to changing the status quo.
