Avantages
Good working environment. Very nice colleagues. Opportunity to work in a global environment.
Inconvénients
Very conservative. Poor sitaution handling to retain talented employees (during oil price crisis, pandamic). Always say there salary program is competitive even when most of us say it is not. Flexible hours, they don't track you work hours, but that means you don't get paid for overtime. Most people overwork especially teams with multiple locations, as you kind of forced to have meetings at night and/or early morning to connect with your other locations. Sometimes I have 7-10 pm meetings multiple days a week. So they promote work-life balance. Easy to say for higher management positions, not really for the real working people. Bad ranking system (or 'assessment' they call). You have to go through a very stressful performance summary every year. And as the others have said, even if you are very good at your job, if you don't know how to present yourself, not well-known to the assessors group, you are likely to get not-so-good result. Some jobs also automatically have advantage over others for assessment.
