Business outlook
Pros
Great sense of involvement, ability to work worldwide, good range of options in terms of job role, self accountability in tasks and are trusted to work alone. Time management flexible and generally job is results based. Mgt ability is varied from role to role but the ability to manoevre usually allows ways around this.
Cons
Downsides would be embedded management inertia given the scale of some of the operations, some tasks are simply too huge and have too many contributors to complete quickly. Timescales are traditional IT 'think of a date' and hitting dates are all important. Take over by Thomson may mean change in terms and conditions, pay not too wonderful compared to Banks.
