Pros

International opportunities that allows you to travel a lot as well as to have interaction with other cultures. You can be given a lot of freedom (if you have the right manager). It is your own responsibility to build and maintain competencies and getting the right professional experiencies.

Cons

Top Management interfears in detalies lower down in the organization.There is a lot of internal politics that is more important compared to producing results. Whan making promotions are "friends" and "old mates" used for getting a promotion. External candidates are reqruited to higher positions with argument that "diversity" is beneficial - but the loss of "productive hours" and motivation are neglected.

Pros

-Technological superior to most other companies with use of AI and promising future tech/programs -benefits and pay are very competetive -room for professional growth and advancement if you know how to work in a corporate environment -resume development and professional advancement

Cons

-leadership ideology doesnt match the company/CEOs mission statement or belief (company is said to be all for safety yet leaders get put in charge and quickly dismantle and lay off 3 quarters of the safety department) -Leadership changes structure to benefit themselves by having all support functions report to them instead of the CEO, this ensures all support functions take a back seat to production and financial gain to include their employees well being -Company restructured and reorganizes very often while showing no loyalty to the employees who work hard and want to stay, this leads to turn over of great employees.
