      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Varied and global opportunities for development, global outlook. The opportunity to meet diverse and interesting people in a variety of locations.

      Cons

      Short term thinking, particulary around the PMP process. Organisations, driven by senior leaders, are entirely focussed on deliverables in the current year, the bigger, long term picture is almost always forgotten. Kneejerk and inaffective cost cutting measures are implemented only to hit quarterly targets, whatever the claims of the companies leaders, this is a short term focussed organisation. A large number of employees appear 'brainwashed' and accept the regular spin from senior leaders. Senior leaders also do not 'practice what they preach'
