Pros
Great opportunities, no qualifications or experience required, buddy up with the right people and lick enough shoes and you'll make it. Spent 6 years in various managerial positions all over Australia, China, Japan and South Korea.
Cons
Low maturity, unfocused, trying to deliver with all KPIs. Silo approach with difficulties on trying new things and making key timely decisions. Extremely reactive. Overworked with no work-life balance approach, however this is preached otherwise. Strong focus on delivering the bottom line in terms of increasing productivity, tightening contract mixes, adversely lowering headcount and more strain on remaining staff with high rates of turnover. Not strategically focused on increasing market share or commercial performance. Majority of business plans, and core business focuses are just copy and pastes of the UK. Likes to think they are customer focused. Lacking a lot of talent and proper development plans for co-workers to succeed in roles.
