Minpunten
- very slow moving organization when it comes to technology change; follower not a leader - high involuntary turnover for those over 50, happens every few years - IT services have been constantly outsourced to overseas; requiring fewer local staff - high;y political organization; make sure you develop internal networks and know who your friends are - slow corporate advancement; too many people competing for senior jobs - wide variation in people management of senior management, executives; either great or really bad - mistakes can be career enders; leads to people hiding their mistakes - less transparency - internal movement to other positions could be a career ender with your current boss - when projects complete you will need to find your next job internally; don't count on anyone to do it for you
