Cons

-Company values are not lived daily and causes employee confusion between theory and practise -Inability of the company to hire and retain talent in recent years -Arrogance at senior levels that they are doing favours to employees by hiring and keeping them; with a take it or leave it attitude -Fewer opportunities to employees who give feedback and more given to those who play the game and say the 'right' things -many underperformers are making it to through the ranks, whilst many high achievers are being head hunted and leaving the company -High level of dishonesty about employees' real scope for career advancement -Lack of transparency of people movements

Pros

Open culture. Good job security as lots of tolerance for mistakes and tendency to shy away from taking hard decisions. High levels of staffing leading to almost no work in some areas.

Cons

Tobacco industry, very difficult to switch jobs. Downsizing activities started since last 3 years. Very little opportunities to grow in the new scenario unless you are someones "favorite". Loads of incompetent people in senior management.
