Lots of potential

Business Outlook

Pros

One of the leading global supply chain provider. In Australia they have increasingly a real whole of supply chain approach to their solution and capability development. Local senior leadership truly care about the employees. There is also a genuine willingness to integrate environment, communities and equal opportunities in the company's strategy.

Cons

Gender imbalance at the top in local, regional and global leadership. Difficulties in being nimble in a large global structure increasingly driven towards centralisation and standardisation based on an headquarter centric view of the world.

Business Outlook

Pros

I have been employed for less than a year but have to resign from the company in lieu of my personal to explore an opportunity in the Middle East particularly in Dubai. From my experience with the company, I could say that it is a good workplace to work for. Aside from the good profile ( for the record , the company is one of the leading logistics company around the world), the shared service center which was newly-established is a good avenue for fresh entry and the senior staffs for career growth and advancement plus the opportunity to travel abroad for the execution of project.

Cons

work overload as a Budget Accountant
