Pros

A great New York driven firm You are valued for your views and open thoughts Culture is brilliant

Cons

APAC region does not carry the companies vision and principles well at all. Too much senior level "dirty power politics" hampering the APAC region. Good people made victims of personal preferences of senior management in APAC region. You have to be in someone's good books to survive in the APAC region.

Pros

decent pay and good name drop to add to your experience and resume

Cons

everything!! since this was a contract role I was brought in to complete a project with 0 leadership or direction. I was left to figure out everything completely on my own from finding a computer and a desk and a phone to figuring out who to contact in India etc to help me revamp the entire global website on the backend. I literally had to show up to work everyday at least an hour early so that I could possibly try to find a open desk sometimes I had to work on the floor or find somewhere in the lunchroom I could set up in the corner this went on for over a month.
