Pros
- A truly global company with a global perspective. - Good execution of strategic plans. - Lots of opportunities for those starting their careers. - Processes are well-defined and documented.
Cons
- Lack of diversity; preference is for a very young (and green) work force that can be molded. Senior Management has very few Americans. - Lots of talk about their "10 principles", but a failure to live by them. - INORDINATE emphasis on cost cutting. - While they talk about a meritocracy and variable compensation, the main benefactors of this program are higher level management. Variable compensation at lower levels is mediocre at best. - Unless you are on a "fast track" you are not truly valued by the company. - Lots of turnover. - Failure to keep up their reputation for good corporate citizenship.
