Pros
Love the vision of Leadership and focus on employee development and excellence. Great Benefits. There are many opportunities for advancement, IF you are willing to relocate, or if you just get lucky and know the right people at the right time. IR does have great employee Perks and benefits.
Cons
The employee rating system and definitions are more dependent upon what manager you have and not necessarily your performance results. The best person is "not" always chosen for the job especially if they know someone involved in the decision making. Workers are the experts so most managers have no clue and just delegate. I hate to say it but, Upper Management has great vision and intent; however their vision and messaging is sabotaged and lost in the trickle down and/or is just not believed at all. Not all, but way too many middle managers play lip service and look good to upper management, but if you turn the view downward, the reality is completely different. Huge gap. Very disappointing and discouraging to say the least. It’s like seeing this great pie in the sky vision and winding up with mud.
