Business Outlook

Pros

Attracts talented and collegial staff from all around the world. Very international work culture.

Cons

Leadership is insular and arrogant. Dissent/disagreement with leadership team not tolerated. There is a sense among staff that leadership has no coherent strategy and is leading the organization into financial peril. Staff ideas are not listened to. Many redundancies recently (staff who express disagreement are fired).

Business Outlook

Pros

The top leadership is strategic but that does not go down to the lower level managers

Cons

Managers lack unprofessionalism, the culture is different in various countries. Redundancies are based on what a manager feels rather than performance. The leadership team frowns or looks down on other leaders based on race you can hear it in the tone and condescending manner they speak to people from certain areas .
