Pros

- Since last year company targeted simplification of processes and somewhat a clean up withi. It made a big step in this goal and we benefit from some of the projects delivered, in other cases one process has been substituted b another, so not much difference. Company has a great culture recognising teams and people delivering great work. it is based on votes against submitted videos on the activities delivered. Keep this going! it motivated and drives people! - Development opportunities are available in the area of persons current role and only horizontally - Good benefits and overall culture.

Cons

- some of the platforms company uses are horrible, such as Ariba with constant issues. Global projects around this tool is a pain to all users, but leadership seems to feel fine with the service vs cost... - Not many dare to speak out, politics win and people tend to please each other than stand for opinion - Too many people work in the company entire life occupying high positions, which means that employees can only develop horizontally - "Old" employees see young generation as threat to their role and it becomes awkward when one is not happy to transfer knowledge and avoiding giving real responsibility/ accountability
