Pros

Space for growth in global company. Constant changing environment allows you to work with a diverse group of people.

Cons

Leadership has a hard time understanding the how to make major changes happen. The theory is great but operationalizing it is the difficult aspect in such a large company. Another aspect of improvement would be in how we are reviewing our leaders. There are leaders that needs to be more aware of the impact of their decision and actions. If Rio Tinto had a process to enable that feedback in a formal way I think some leaders would gain a lot from it - although I would say this is for a minority.
