Pros

International exposure, experience to work on large-scale projects, good ORSO plan

Cons

Too many teams & vendors in order to work out a project, too many politics due to too many people. 3 teams to do one simple task (e.g. 1 team to design, 1 team to QA, 1 team to execute, and waste a whole week to discuss how to cooperate with all 3 teams with R&R, and the execution just needs 10 minutes)

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.
