Glorified service company

Pros

If you dont have a brain, and willing to be a slave this is the best place to be.

Cons

Run like a mafia by unprofessional, unethical mid level managers. Everything here are lies and manipulations. Regionalism and politics at its peak. No real work. It is just a glorified service company. Hr is for name sake.

Pros

Great brand resonance and broad portfolio of products

Cons

Culture is held above all else - but nobody shows you how to map into it. Nearly impossible for a senior leader to be successful trying to drive transformation and change with an entire cohort of 25-30 year folks trying to protect their kingdoms.
