Business Outlook

Pros

- people are from many cultures and have very different backgrounds - people are smart and interesting - exciting (career)opportunities in various areas (also career changes) - cultural initiatives (sponsors theaters, museums, concerts, etc) - socially responsible company (CO2 compensation, "community days", etc) - fringe benefits: great employee restaurant, sports clubs, discounted tickets etc

Cons

- one employee is a "small number" - "silo" thinking - many rather want to "look" and appear good instead of helping others - many reorganizations for individuals to show off (as in many large companies:) - "employees" may be #2 priority (after stakeholders) - not individually, though, but as a whole only
