Minpunten
Bureaucratic Processes: Decision-making can be slow due to internal layers of approval, institutional procedures, and political considerations. Limited Flexibility in Innovation: Risk appetite and space for creative structuring or new approaches may be constrained by internal policies and shareholder dynamics. Location & Mobility Constraints: HQ is in Abidjan, which may not suit everyone, and field postings or mission travel can be extensive and demanding. Performance Recognition Gaps: Career progression and recognition can sometimes feel tied to internal politics or tenure rather than pure merit/performance
