Pros

The company provides great work-life balance, good working conditions, fair salaries, and benefits.

It's a great place to start a family and buy a house.

Cons

Very bureaucratic.

Personal development is slow. It's great at the start (if you are an RCG), but it slows down after a couple of years.

Too many dirty internal politics.

Due to the focal system, people prefer not to take risks.

There is internal unemployment, hunger, and internal competition (sometimes very dirty) for good projects. If there is already a good project, they usually take more people than needed to do it.

Advice to Management

Focal system prevents management from taking risks
