Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible work hours/location Company shows strong brand values and induction shows impetus towards image, consistency and ethics. Relatively better compensation Occasionally employees see a small gift on your desk from Leadership team thanking them for the hard work - Thoughtful of the leadership team. Diversity - have not seen a place with wider diaspora of people, cultures. People have flexibility to move laterally between teams

Cons

Lots of layers to accomplish tasks. Project Induction is usually not well defined. Work life balance needs to be batter Sr management looks at costs at the global level and want to keep North America thin at higher levels. That potentially puts growth at a slower pace

Challenging to work with diverse group of people.

Pros

Challenging to work with diverse group of people.

Cons

The Employee assessment process requires you to compare yourself to your peers, and to not be the last one at the end of the performance line. Due to a bell curve statistical process, it is conceivable to perform your job daily, but ranked inefficient- an entire department cannot all be doing their job efficiently and effectively.
