Lots of great opportunities

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

It has a very well established global mobility program so an employee would have lots of opportunities to work in other countries. Many good projects both domestic and global provide the employee with lots of opportunities to learn and grow.

Cons

Very bureaucratic, with a lack of global vision from the head office. What applies in Brazil is expected to apply to all the countries within which the company operates. Cannot really say that it is a global organization in its processes.
