Pros

Great opportunities for job rotation and invested on employee learning for personal growth and digitalization. Mostly great colleagues to work with.

Cons

High pressure workload in supply chain operations and mixed management strategies on rolling out adaptation on operational project should cookie-cut across all regions. Overlook on cultural and business complexity for some.
