Vantaggi
standard level of holiday and most benefits for a large blue chip company. Acceptance of home working is good and it used to be very easy to move to other parts of the company.
Svantaggi
Poor leadership with constant conflict at senior level and micro management of expenditure. Many changes of direction and senior management who always want to "make a mark". The easiest way is by having a re-organisation so these happen every 4-6 months. There's also much talk of empowering people and telling them to focus on the big issues - which is great except that there is then a requirement to spend much time on weekly reports, getting travel approval from VP level and other internal housekeeping jobs that waste 40-50% of time. A new pay in 2004 structure stovepipes people and prevents movement so squashing innovation and new ways of working.
