Employment status: current

Positives outweight the negatives.  New hires generally have greater opportunities to advance than lateral hires.
Pros: Global resources, access to Global clients, employees have a broad range of skills,  excellent training for younger personnel, significant improvements in recent years to develop junior personnel, opportunity to actively structure your career path,   work is done in a cross disciplinary  team environment, input from junior staff is welcome and encouraged
Cons: Promotions are too often based more on politics and who supports a candidate than actual acheivement/productivity.  Women and cerrtain minorities tend to be advanced faster and with less qualifications/business case.  Overly bureaucratic.   Sometimes slow to react to changing market conditions.  Experience lateral hires tend to struggle because of inadequate on boarding process and internal politics.
