A lot of internal challenges they are trying to work through.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Big company with multiple business lines and operates in multiple countries. Opportunity for movement. Very DEI focused.

Cons

Very DEI focused (yes, it can be both a pro and a con). Promotions seem more based on optics than capabilities. Poor internal communication and processes. Lack of agreement of goals between global and regional leadership. Overall business line leaders in some cases have very limited experience (e.g. Sales, even though they manage the entire P&L) and can't/don't appreciate what else is going on.
