Business Outlook

Pros

Management encourages and supports initiatives for process improvement. There is a lot of freedom for new ideas. The country-specific units of the global PMO transcend cultural differences and are able to focus well on process changes, training programs, and proposals for continuous improvement.

Cons

Communication facilities and collaboration tools could be improved. Face to face communication between PMO units is made difficult by strict expense limits.

Business Outlook

Pros

Work/life balance Possibility to take leaves and flexible time Good direct manager IT processes are structured and organized

Cons

Politics is rampant, any career advancement involves playing the political game, and even if you don't, a lot of energy is drained on it From middle management and above, people don't seem to have a clue about technology, feedback from the "trenches" is not sought and the rationale behind decisions seem to completely lack any technical merits Technology is old, outdated and there are huge resistances to adopt anything new or look into alternatives to cut cost (such as Open Source, for instance)
