Big Blue full of red tape
Pros: Instant recognition of brand. Big organisation.
Cons: Pay rises only if you are rated as a top performer (10%) and try that every year! Bonuses never achieve target even if you are a top performer. The company trust know one. Even VP's can't make decisions. You get red alert onthe expenses system if you go 1p over your allowance even if it was overseas and you made a small miscalculation of the exchange rate. Communication is terrible with everyone operating in their little thiefdoms.
