Pros

Career progression can be good for some people - opportunity for International Assignments and travel. Some parts of the business offer flexibility and there isn't a presenteeism culture.

Cons

Such a focus on standardisation that there is little autonomy. Regular restructures make it difficult to work here.

Pros

Great products- global expertise Parent company is a solid organization, and opportunities to move to that keep arising Once current leadership moves out (and it will), this will become the great place to work that it once was.

Cons

Current leadership is horrible, and have changed the organization from a theory Y workplace to a theory X workplace. Some great core values, such as "courage and curiosity to question" and "developing the talents of our people" have been discarded- that says something. Little to no career or development path offered. HR is a hollow function.
