A complex change

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Brand visibility, Corporation size and power, innovation that matters, large variety of job roles available within the Corporation

Cons

Company size drives you to be a "number" rather than a "person", no time to completely deploy a strategy and get results, the gap between new solutions and delivery skills is increasing
