Pros

Inspiring purpose & industry, truly global w/ highly diverse teams working across borders but still integrated, high levels of communication & exchange between management & employees and among employees, employee networks and groups allowing engagement in whatever topic you feel passionate, authentic focus on discovery & learning, high levels of self-discretion re: tasks and what to take on to contribute, high share of very smart people very open to collaborate & contribute, recent changes in Senior Management bringing fresh wind and change into the right direction, consistent levels of investment into future areas, comparably flexible WfH frame

Cons

Highly complex structure combined w/ low process culture = whether you get all the information you need highly depends on your manager and needs self-initiative, it might be that similar things are worked on in different places + at times long-decision processes due to number of senior managers up to ExCo involved; center of gravity still in Western Europe which only recently changes w/ India & China becoming more important - before then, any career went through Western Europe

Thanks for sharing your thoughts from our New York office. We have a great team; our purpose and culture continue to be 'stand out' and some of the reasons so many colleagues stay with us longer term. We are collaborative and progressive and everyday we contribute to learnings for generations to come.

Thank you for sharing your review. We kicked off our second Career Growth Week so far this year with a focus on feedback which underpins growth at every level. Alongside the flagship sessions, colleagues took part in a wide range of virtual events across the week. These included popular sessions like building skills through feedback, Forward Talk, AI-powered feedback, “expert” careers and mentoring panels, the Facilitation Marathon, and a LinkedIn personal branding workshop, as well as practical learning through the Level up: boost your skills and Talent Attraction sessions. Perhaps look out for the next one which will be in a few months time. Colleague development is core to our organisation.
