Pros

Great pay, comparable to top markets (if you negotiate well, and managers like the country you are coming from) Extremely low work volume Some really nice and king people Good CEO

Cons

Politics (some people grow very fast just for being friends with the right people) Salaries and promotions defined by affinity. Management mostly from 3 or 4 Western countries and they trend to support more employees from the same countries or with similar background) Halo effect Nepotism Shady about the reasons why decisions are taken Lack of clarity about KPIs and performance Local employees could be supported more to advance in their careers, instead of looking for superstar talent abroad
