Pros

Vision (7 Pillars) has been published in trainings. Payment level for mid and upper management seems to be very well. Good opportunities for graduates in Australia.

Cons

Headcount reduction project hangs like a Damocles sword. Uncertainty about future as regional management is not able to provide a valid strategy. Salary and hiring freeze as well as STI cut for years result in lack of quality of service. Declared Visions and Values are messed up by the mid management. Very high grade of frustration on lower levels.

Pros

Global leader in segment, safety procedures, and values.

Cons

Recently top management is obsessed with generating profits by cutting headcount, leading to higher workloads, and then they talk about mental wellbeing. In 2026 the strategy is only to generate profits, even if it means we risk our own sales.
