      Pros

      Multinational Company, having lots of chance to improve yourself by joining to training programmes, but if you can agree with your line manager regional roles may create some good opportunities to have experience of working with different cultures and making some benchmark studies

      Cons

      Relatationship management is much more important then performance in the case of promotions that's why senior level doesn't have enoguh and necessray competincies

      Lot to learn, but difficult to manuever.

      Pros

      There is a lot to learn in every area as it uses lot of state of the art processes and systems, plus it is probably the most complex international organisation ever (after GE). If you make it here, you make it anywhere. Lot of training available, and relatively many opportunities to move around between functions or countries.

      Cons

      Lots and lots of politics, difficult to maneuver, some say 90% of your time is selling your idea through the lot of interests existing, and only 10% you can work. Any HR related topic (work-life balance, promotions, talent management, etc.) is rather said than done, simply it depends too much on your line mgr, who is not trained and controlled to do what the HR strategy says (the strategy though is not a bad one at all)
