Pluspunten

Good benefits package. Salaries not bad. Like any other place, there are some good people to work with (but not always).

Minpunten

Limited opps to develop your potential - Year on year the employee survey highlights the same complaints about not having access to career development opportunities No career paths and little to no visibility for career advancement or mobility - There is literally NO internal mobility function or recruitment function. You are 100% at the mercy of your HR Business Partner to know you, to know about the opportunities elsewhere. Unfortunately they are so overloaded that there is no time to do any of this. So they can't fill vacant slots and managers die of overload, and employees can't move and they die of disappointment and burnout. All the while, the only thing that MIGHT work is the internal network. But even then, no guarantees. It is the most political place I have ever been or seen. The hours are brutal, primarily because they are understaffed and again, can't find resources even if there is a role posted and approved. Incredibly political. Unlike anything I have ever seen. Be very, very careful with your back.

Global exposure: Opportunity to work with international teams and align with global standards. Professional working environment: Emphasis on compliance, ethics, and accountability.
