Pros

Job security: They’ll never fire you as long as you don’t drink and drive. Performance doesn’t matter.

Cons

Spend most of your life in inefficiency and bureaucracy Not recommended if you want a job where you will grow and can make use of your abilities Low pay Poor talent management system Has global operations but it’s way of thinking is far from global Poor respects for human rights
