Poor management
Pros: Training
Company name 
Great international environment
Cons: Poor management; fires the most competent managers within the BDG organisation due to their low seniority (low cost). Instead of getting rid of bad managers (high cost).
Top-down management; no clear communication regarding changes within the organisation. 
Changing targets on a quarterly basis i.e. no consistency. You could be working half way through a quarter without knowing your targets.
People are placed in teams without consulting the individuals.
"If you don't like the smell in the bakery - find another one" is the attitude of management.
Managers are afraid of doing changes due to their reputation for upper management. 
No clear progression path - a lot of promises but in the end people are stuck in the role.
Managers are poor in coaching you with developing you.

Selling the worlds leading talent management tool in the market, but doesn't use it internally (Ironical). A lot of talent individuals have fled away, due to frustration.
