Working witrh an orgranzation that is global
Cons
Very political, it's not if you do a good job, it's how others think that you are doing. Getting ahead isn't really about doing the job but by doing pet projects that aren't related to you job but show that you think "outside of the box" and take initative..
Almost impossible to get a promotion, easiest way is to be in direct sales. As long as your team is making quota (on the direct sales side) they give them out like candy. But if you are in any tupe of support role they are very hard to come by. I was with the company 5+ years and never promoted even though got good ratings. If you have a team of ten or fifteen you better be ranked #1 or #2 in your group to get the promotion, which is hard to do b/c there's always a superstar.
Advice to Senior Management
No advice, b/c things will stay the ways they've always been.
