Pros

International Reach. If you want to travel, this is the company to do so with

Cons

Tribalism amongst leadership. Makes a lot of noise about diversity and inclusion yet they are going backwards. If you're a white, straight male, you'll go far.

Too many teams & politics

Information technology project manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

International exposure, experience to work on large-scale projects, good ORSO plan

Cons

Too many teams & vendors in order to work out a project, too many politics due to too many people. 3 teams to do one simple task (e.g. 1 team to design, 1 team to QA, 1 team to execute, and waste a whole week to discuss how to cooperate with all 3 teams with R&R, and the execution just needs 10 minutes)
