Business Outlook
Pros
Plenty of opportunity to find a role that suit's your strengths. Empowered to act, within reason, to achieve your objectives. Nice working environment; well furnished offices, good canteens. Reasonable understanding of the need for work / life balance. Good benefits; car, health, pension plan. Opportunity for travel and entertainment. Oh and the money isn't bad either!
Cons
Politics. There's a lot of game playing and power struggles - to prove one's worth. Too much time needed to promote oneself amongst one's peers and managers. Death by PowerPoint. Torture by Excel. Lotus Domino. Projects that go nowhere. Too comfortable - easy to becomne complacent. A place where bad performers can hide.
