Pros

Great work place environment and self aware about the need for improvement in certain areas such as career development and lessening lengthy decision making. This is refreshing to see a company looking to improve and make their work place better.

Cons

Too process oriented, lenghthy decision process and can be hierarchical....but they recognize this and are putting steps in place to address this. The Sr. Leaders credibility has been questionable...but with the new CEO and re orgs in place, they are addressing this too.

Pros

Colleagues are some of the best people I have worked with in my career. Ability to telework. My manager is great - she is a great mentor, always offers suggestions, helps out when I am swamped with work and can perform my job if necessary - how many managers around can do that or would offer to help out?

Cons

Upper Management constantly changing operating models. Lots of talk about empowerment but when you empower yourself to change something your are smacked on the hand because you didn't consult management beforehand. Overabundance of SOPs - so numerous that it interferes with everything.

Good facilities, benefits and great people. Opportunities to work truly globally and positive work life balance.

Cons

Depending on function, there can be limited career progression opportunities, however if you work hard, and drive your personal career development, you are typically rewarded.
