Business Outlook

Pros

Stable company and a secure job

Cons

Too large and bureaucratic. People are boxed into positions that does not harness their true potentials. Management is frequently more concerned with how to limit the opportunities of employees to leave rather than bringing out the best from them.

If you believe in being rewarded for hard work, this is NOT the place for you.

Pros

To be honest, I can't think of any right now! I'm sure there were many at one point in time but there is very little enthusiasm left in this work place.

Cons

Little or no professional development. Excellent performance does not equal equal excellent rewards. If you know how to play the political game (and kiss a lot of a@$#) you have the potential to go far! Right now they are making cost cuts left right and center, although i believe Fred and his gang still get to ride everywhere in their chauffer driven limousines. At least the company is still spending money where it counts!

Pros

The global compensation package is good

Cons

Company seems indifferent to its employees. It is all about visibility. If you do a good job and stay low - good luck. Doing your job well has no basis on your ratings - its all about initiatives that leads no where. The company has become a fraternity. Only certain cliques are allowed upward moblity
