Pros

The only real benefit of working at this company is the annual bonus

Cons

"Change is only constant" - expect being impacted and released from service any time. Reorganization or happening constantly "Simplicity" - only a word on paper. Nothing is getting simpler. If you have an ideal, you will have to get Approval, create power points, then have a call, present, get approval, redo power points, get follow up call, another approval, and so on. Decision takes way too long hence many projects are not delivered. As an expert, you spend more time on doing power points and telling senior management why you want to do it rather then actually doing it. After a while, you will stop having ideas, because you get tired of doing power points Lack of trust to junior people Some upper management can make your life really difficult Some LM are good, at least allow you to do your job, other, will question everything even if they have no idea about Career Opportunities - only if you know people and have good network otherwise, you can be stuck on the same JG for ages. Some senior people, i have no idea how they ended up on the level they are, with the knowledge the have. It’s not what you know, it’s where you are. The cards are stacked against you if you are not in London, The Hague and Houston.
