Pros

Global Brand which can be used for other international opportunities. Working with diverse group of people, the benefit of which is same as above.

Cons

Compensation below industry standards Growth dependent on your ability to kiss your management in the right places; no place for meritocracy. Bueraucratic and slow to respond to changing times. Midnight oil guzzler.

Pros

Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

Cons

At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
