Business Outlook

Pros

Laid back for interns. Involvement with the team. Big place to switch around departments

Cons

Not many full-time opportunities for interns who are graduating, but the experience is still worth it.

3.0

A place where continuous learning is a daily opportunity, not just a "must"; but where politics talks stronger.

Business Outlook

Pros

Very dynamic enviornment where changes and pressure are constant, estimulating the employees to continuously search for excellence. Opportunities around the world and strong diversity.

Cons

One can see quite clearly some employees were able to climb the ladder due to hanging with the right crowd rather than having strong technical skills. The organizational culture as well as benefits rely much on the management of the site you are located/business unit one reports to. Excessive reporting as in contrast to political bias for strategic decision making.

Business Outlook

Pros

There is online and offsite location training for both technical and non technical. It is improvement compared to when I first started. There is opportunity to work with people from diverse culture and background.

Cons

Sometimes you get people who don't know what they are doing but they had the opportunity to be in a leadership position. Not everyone takes the internal review seriously. They don't even bother to provide feedback until annual review. There can be high turnover of staff at certain locations and the replacement may not know what happened. They get frustrated and leave. This cause the vicious cycle to repeat itself.
