Disappointing

Pros

A good mix of employees with which to interact and learn.

Cons

Corporate management is disconnected from what is happening at other sites. HR personnel are involved in management of areas of which they have no knowledge. Resources are constrained and employees are expected to make it work.

Pros

Strong values, good products, good people, stable company, increasingly performance/result oriented

Cons

Unclear roles & responsibilities in the complex matrix organization makes decision making slow, BD is quite risk averse but slowly getting better. Innovation and creativity not embedded in the culture. Quite short term thinking.

Pros

Big company, strong HR process supporting employees, trainings, follow-up of employees. Anyone can take responsibilities and show his/her skills to the management, and possibly evolve in the company. Good internal mobility opportunities.

Cons

Like as for other big companies, political relationships are very important, and employees working for the management and support side can sometimes feel too far away from the business field
