      Likely to work on interesting multi-country projects but rarely realistically resourced or planned

      Pros

      - Likely to be exposed to multi-country projects - within projects, typically you'll play multiple roles

      Cons

      - little / no employee development plans. Everything is ad-hoc, knee jerk and firefighting - lots of fiefdoms - management by fear, micro management. No encouragement for innovative thinking. Employees focused on and encouraged to cover backsides. - work output/quality is generally just enough. Rarely is it of a high standard - no conscious business processes. Most seem evolutionary and bureaucratic. - project schedules unrealistic, over-scoped and badly under resourced

      A good International organisation

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Strong international exposure with significant expansion in Asia and a strong foothold in the European health and beauty markets

      Cons

      Limited career progression and established training development opportunities. Structure and culture is heirarchial at times which can lead to a lack of vital information being passed up the chain towards senior management.
