Pros
- Enrich industrial knowledge - Many colleagues are veterans willing to impart knowledge and skills - Spotting new market opportunities - Be part of a leading global brand - Limited autonomy to initiate new ideas (but slow in obtaining approvals) - Good if you like to "work to rush, rush to work" as proposals can sit around for weeks/months before approval - Good department and company to join if you have no social life or family commitments
Cons
- NO WORK-LIFE BALANCE - department head laughs at that idea. - Over-promises other department requests, causing your overwhelming workload - Lack of feedback, despite constant requests - Poor management and leadership skills - Lack of defined scope of work. Limited autonomy to find your own scope, but it takes months to get anything going
