Pros

- generous time off program - global scale provides ample career opportunities - supportive of remote work and work-life balance

Cons

- typical politics and "who you know" circle of things to get to where you want. although they revamped performance management, the process is still jaded - typically, those who rise to the top are the "talkers" vs. the "walkers" - management decisions constantly made under committees representing both local and global management lines (Band 2 or higher) which overburden and slow processes to a crawl. Mid-level management decisions have been stripped or replaced. - unrealistic expectations to carry out unprecedented changes at "zero tolerance" levels

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.
