Not what you may think it is

Pros

It is a recognized brand worldwide and invests a lot of money to keep the corporate image clean.

Cons

Unfortunately, their processes are terribly slow, clumsy and tight. They rarely are open for suggestions on how to improve the internal procedures and the customers resent the inefficiency inside the company. People in Latin America have the tendency to wait until you ask them several times to do their daily tasks before they really perform them. The company claims its most valuable asset are the employees and that does not seem to be really true, it is just image, they do not really care about the individuals.

Pros

This company prioritizes a people-centric culture, fostering collaboration and employee well-being. With a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion, it encourages varied perspectives, creating an innovative work environment. Offering genuine opportunities for career growth, the organization facilitates seamless transitions across different areas, countries, and industries. This focus on long-term development, coupled with global mobility, makes it an attractive choice for those seeking a dynamic and diverse professional journey.

Cons

While the company excels in fostering a people-oriented culture and providing opportunities for diverse career paths, there are areas that warrant attention. There is improvement in base salary to align more closely with industry standards. Additionally, enhancing work-life balance initiatives and implementing process simplification would contribute to the overall well-being and efficiency of the workforce. Despite moving-forward in various aspects, there's room for evolution in leadership style, as some feel a lingering influence of an old-school approach. Addressing these concerns would further fortify the company's commitment to employee satisfaction and modern workplace practices.

Salary and rewards, flexible time, and balance between job and private life

Wrong persons in leadership, they fight for power instead of looking for business, also bosses are typical that don’t give feedback and reward lazy people instead of good elements
