Pros

Work life balance Stable company Blue-chip MNC

Cons

Serious lack of diversity within the executive committee and senior executive ranks - particularly in view of the fact that more than 80% of the Group's revenue is derived from international markets. The senior executive ranks should have a larger representation of leaders, esxpecially from Asia.
