      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Oppiortunities for development (depends on your mobility and department), great ressources, strong focus on the upskilling of employees, stable company, make a strong impact in terms of sustainability and patients. even if large corporate in markets decisions can go fast. Entrepreneurial mindset is a value and clearly makes sense in the markets. At global level a bit longer which makes sense

      Cons

      if you are not mobile, or not in the right country then opportunities of development might be very limited.
