A place where people are treated with respect, and division executives get moved around frequently

Business Outlook

Pros

People treat each other with respect.

Cons

There is often lack of accountability with middle managers, as they are moved around often and therefore cannot be accountable for any actions they take (and take any credit for short-term profits) during their tenure at any position. Lack of business strategy in some divisions.

Business Outlook

Pros

work life balance is good assuming you want to stay at or below manager level. Capable operational people. Commercial people have inconsistent talent. some very good and some not.

Cons

Operation and execution is very good. But, strategy and vision are very poor. It is big. Not agile. The culture has the people compare their work against themselves and always find a reason to pat on their own back no matter how they perform against others in the market place.
