Pros

Good place to hide if you´re not too talented Good brand name Just hang in long enough if you want a promotion: no up our out

Cons

Mediocre talent Death by process Performance management via strict scorecards invites employees to "play the numbers game" and neglect areas that are more important but not measured Talks the talk but doesn´t walk the walk: empty promises regarding employee engagement Limited innovation Lots of meetings, little action
