Noble cause ("we make the world more resilient") Great knowledge in the company, most employees readily share it Strong financial position of the company Decent remuneration High expectation of employee rewarded with high liberty how to manage day-to-day work Open to new technologies

Cons

Due to the nature of the business: quite risk averse Many of the above mentioned experts also think that they are expert in your field and opine Strategies and projects are started en masse, so few will be followed through People sit on their positions for a very long time Many a manager was simply the best in his field, but has little ideas how to lead
