Pros

Employee focus is very good. Its a huge organisation, so lot of opportunities, if you work hard & look around.

Cons

Decision making takes time. And a lot of time. Tenure is not a highly valued organisation asset and this leads to loss of good staff. New blood is important, but you also need the guys who knows the nuts & bolts of the company

Pros

Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

Cons

At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
