Pros

When the job market is tight in the UK the company does what it needs to do to outsource and hire regular employees abroad, taking whatever steps necessary and paying a pretty handsome salary for talent based on local market rate.

Cons

When the UK job market goes south, the company looks to put UK workers back to work and makes US based employees redundant no matter what their ability level is or how much they produce. They've replaced key US workers on projects with lesser qualified UK workers and have set projects behind needing to bring those replacements up to speed.

Pros

Benefits are better than most US companies. You get twice or triple the numbers of days off per year.

Cons

Focus is more on originating company location for group events and emails. Due to time zone differences, it can be difficult to work with others without adjusting your schedule. It is difficult to get promoted outside originating country. Roles are few and far between in the US.
