Pros

Interesting projects in emerging markets. Strong brand and global presence Decent compensation

Cons

Managers are often poor and decisions are extremely consensus driven. Very top of organization is chosen by political masters who don't know what they are looking for. CEO currently lacks finance experience. Strong favoritism for people with right race and gender Debt driven culture which makes equity investing difficult Every decision maker wants to be seen as the most intelligent in every situation and management lacks trust in its staff's ability
