Pros
Great industry to work in, feels like one makes a real impact Great work life balance at least in global and regional roles Benefits are reasonably good
Cons
Lack of focus, spreading resources too thinly across questionable initiatives Very limited career progression, all depending on who you know Very poor career planning for mid-level managers compared to competitors Horrendously complex matrix - paralysis by analysis and everyone wants to have a say No culture of grooming talent, line managers too busy protecting their own turf Leaders change every 2 years wreaking havoc with strategy and implementation Top heavy, unhealthy Meeting and PowerPoint culture to the detriment of delivering business on the ground ICS strategy not very innovative
