Pros

Benefits People (colleagues) Opportunities Being able to develop people

Cons

All relate to EMEA operations Hierarchical leadership styles - can't engage with those above your direct line manager Culture of fear, middle management not allowed to question upper management Unrealistic deadlines set Expectation that the job is your entire life Progression above a certain level is not based on ability, more who you know and who likes you

Pros

Great people, smart people. With new CEO, maybe things will get back

Cons

Been a horrible last 3 years. Non-stop re-offs, new leadership that cut everyone and brought in new people who don’t know anything. No clear priorities, no leadership.
