Strong responsibilities, autonomy and great brands
Talent and people engagement are at the heart of the line management everybody is treated equally
Cons
Too much inwards looking
Oral culture and consensus driven which creates difficulty to maintain knowledge and hinder decision making. But still great place to work
very people development focused
strong line management
great company culture
very international, particularly in IT part of it
possibility to move countries
Cons
too afraid to really innovate - all step-changes
at times too siloed - different business not always sharing best practices or talent
used to be controlled too tightly by the family (governance questions), but this has improved since current CEO has joined
