Pros

Vast amount of activity going on to get involved in - if you have any time left in your day A good organisation to work in if you're in the early stages of your career - but don't pick up bad habits prevalent in the organisation e.g. meeting culture; lack of planning

Cons

Cost-driven organisation - takes priority over every decision - risk adverse Change is managed badly and most senior managers are poor leaders Work-life balance is poor - the organisation doesn't seem to know how to align resources with work demands Tools for the jobs provided are generally not fit for purpose e.g. laptops and telephones

Pros

Benefits are better than most US companies. You get twice or triple the numbers of days off per year.

Cons

Focus is more on originating company location for group events and emails. Due to time zone differences, it can be difficult to work with others without adjusting your schedule. It is difficult to get promoted outside originating country. Roles are few and far between in the US.
