Business Outlook

Pros

Honest people, competent colleagues, good internal career opportunities, a potential for good employee benefits.

Cons

Low empowerment of managers, a tendency towards fostering a "my way or the highway"-attitude, unnecessarily complicated work environment, must reach a certain seniority before salary/benefits are attractive, salary increase poorly correlated with work performance.

Politics & Favoritism Driven Company

Business Outlook

Pros

Training's and company wide initiatives.

Cons

Politics and favoritism. If you have good relationship with the Regional or Global office people, your job is secured. Un-professional Management at Regional level up to please their bosses at Global level and famous for pushing blames to down lines so they always look good. Few people runs the show and if you are in their good books, you can survive for years.
