Business Outlook

Pros

Huge global organization A lot of opportunity around the world (in most functional areas, not all) Very diverse associate population Very diverse product portfolio Highly innovation driven Competitive compensation and benefit package

Cons

Depending on the functional area, life/work balance can be non existent Culture can be restrictive towards autonomy, creativity and empowerment despite published values to the contrary. Still tends to lag behind on higher level opportunities for women in particular Vision/Mission to transform from more traditional manufacturing to an IoT type entity on a global basis presents a significant challenge/risk. This could also be a huge Pro
