Pros
Very social attitude towards employees and work-life balance resulting in low employee turnover rates. Very strict business ethics and culture of respect and tolerance for diversity as well as high sense for environmental responsibility. Many different work opportunities within the same company. Excellent reputation for high quality products and innovativeness. Stable business growth creating secure work places.
Cons
Extremely complex matrix organisation structure with chronically underressourced teams that are supposed to achieve outstanding reasults by coincidence. Very poorly designe structures for customer-facing and external business subserving tasks. Far too much administration and formalized processes creating internal friction and reducing time and energy for more meaningfull external and customer-oriented work. Too many initiatives and programms that seem to serve more as career boosters for the individuals who introduce them instead of making real positive impact on business results and culture. Filling of higher level job grades very intransparent. Latent attitude of risk-aversity. Little possibility to develop fast for real talent.
