CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good salary and benefits, a strong focus on knowledge creation, and many learning opportunities. Generous vacation and other benefits.

Cons

It still is a public sector bureaucracy at heart, and thus it's hard to get even simple things accomplished. Promotions are slow, and non-international staff have few opportunities to advance.
