Business Outlook

Pros

Overall, a good culture, time off and benefits are pretty good comparatively speaking. Internal mobility is highly encouraged and short and long term job shadowing options, some possible international options as well, are a great way to learn more about an area of interest before taking on the role.

Cons

Pay is lacking for the industry. A LOT of red tape given the global nature of the business. Things move very slowly including promotions, pay raises and remote work decisions. Structure of line management is confusing and direction is often discombobulated. Some of the line managers seem to have a "grind and die" mentality that is really daunting and burnout seems to be a bit rampant.
