Svantaggi
- Overly rigid/structured promotion scheme. - Overload of projects to handle at one-time. - Distraction to core work by KPI to contribute to strategic initiatives. - Obsession with "value creation" during appraisal season makes everything sound more important and fruitful than it really is. - Contribution to business-as-usual activity is undervalued. - Company operational direction keeps changing depending on who is VP of the day. - Overall company motives distracted by moving target imposed by wider industry. - Depending on career development plan, knowledge gained during work can be very niche, and not directly transferable to other fields of work. - Lack of cultural diversity in work force. - Tendency to fallback to non-English verbal communication.
