Likely to work on interesting multi-country projects but rarely realistically resourced or planned

Anonymous employee

Business outlook

Pros

- Likely to be exposed to multi-country projects - within projects, typically you'll play multiple roles

Cons

- little / no employee development plans. Everything is ad-hoc, knee jerk and firefighting - lots of fiefdoms - management by fear, micro management. No encouragement for innovative thinking. Employees focused on and encouraged to cover backsides. - work output/quality is generally just enough. Rarely is it of a high standard - no conscious business processes. Most seem evolutionary and bureaucratic. - project schedules unrealistic, over-scoped and badly under resourced
