      Diversity with no substance, poor leadership from the top

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      A great variety of global employment opportunities across all the busniess lines.

      Cons

      No clear growth strategy except to put pressure on employees to do more with less. Business model seems to be to assimilate small, profitable companies to support a burdensome, inefficient corporate bureaucracy. High potential for unethical behavior.

      If you're very lucky, a great chance to form a solid international network.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Large international company with opportunities to network globally. Very knowledgeable people (if you can track them down and connect with them) in a wide variety of businesses. Stable job. Good "starter company" to prepare you to work elsewhere.

      Cons

      Very poor communication between departments, branches, divisions or countries. You will be re-inventing the wheel. Jealousy & competition between branches is discouraged in word, but encouraged in deed. You must be very careful who you help or very secretive if you do lend a hand to another branch. No chance for promotion. If you're hired on as management then you have a chance to move up, otherwise the company will hire from the outside before they promote from within. Little direction from management on where the company is going. Bureaucracy. Stagnant culture. Zero ability to implement change on a local, national or global level. Very low wages compared to similar positions with other companies.
