Svantaggi
1. Early stage career growth is age dependent. Performance may change that by +-1year. Anyone young, smart and ambitious should look elsewhere. 2. The company just settles and doesn't innovate. Management tends to be older, so defaults to doing what worked a few decades ago. It doesn't help that most of the middle+ management haven't worked outside the company, so there's a lot of group think. 3. Decision making is so complex and slow. Good luck trying to procure office pens. 4. It should've gotten out of major O&G a decade ago, it's future is bleak compared to companies that moved faster.
