Pros

Interesting environment and if you're with the right department you can have exciting projects to work on. Good basic salary & overtime pay in my department is not a problem.

Cons

Bonus is OK at best, however high performance rewards are only fractionally higher than average performance. In certain department long service employees block any chances of promotion thus sideway moves are regular occurrence.

Business Outlook

Pros

+ enormous possibility for training and development + promotion opportunities for high performing individuals + easy internal moves between positions (allowed every 2 years) + flexible working hours (depends on department) + travel opportunities + possibility to drive the products + good benefits package + on site canteens and coffee shops + free shuttle bus services from various locations (saves petrol and frustration while trying to park onsite)

Cons

- not enough parking spaces - very long queues to get in and out of the site (additional 1-2 hours depending on the time) - lack of processes ownership or to many process owners (basic process enhancements take months) - lack of operating instructions and standardisation in the office environment - IT and helpdesk outsourced to India (simple fixes takes long time and require a lot of bureaucracy) - to many tactical solutions which are never addressed on a strategic level - old IT infrastructure
