Business Outlook
Pros
Salary (and benefits) are competitive
Cons
Company is obsessed with "business process" - all training SOPs consist of page after page of BPN charts, ostensibly providing the ability to identify synergies. But in fact, decision-making is kept at the highest levels, and decision-making meetings are set by calendar, not by urgency. Result? Projects drag on for months at risk, unclear about decisions. Creates huge anxiety among staff. In certain functions, headcount is too high, leading to turf wars and boredom. Middle management is poorly trained (if they're trained at all). Not bad people, just nobody showed them how to go from individual contributor to manager.
