Business outlook
Pros
Large global and diverse firm with opportunities for mobility and advancement. Progressive management style. Large balance sheet in a challenging market. Large presence in different geographic location, so if you are the type of person that is looking to move around you can create an even larger lexicon of future opportinuties.
Cons
Disconnected upper management from ground floor operations. Lack of recognition for value add and dedication. Slow salary growth for employees that work their way up from within the firm. Difficult system of promoting direct reports. If you are a manager, it is not easy to get your people the recognition they deserve.
