Cons

Excessive bureaucracy Matrix management means no one seems to take responsibility Centralized decision making means local businesses have limited authority Claims to be customer focused but is not, especially with respect to supply New performance appraisal process too vulnerable to subjective opinion Insufficient transparency to local business managers of profitability

Pros

The culture is respectful and inclusive and the people are very committed and skilled. There is plenty of opportunity to develop yourself and the company provides generous benefits.

Cons

It is a very large global company so there are inefficiencies from time to time and the corporate strategy out of head office doesn't always align to local markets and needs.
