Pros

Competitive salary Some lovely people Opportunity to travel abroad Interesting industry Opportunity to get promoted and live in other parts of the world For medical staff it's an amazing job

Cons

-No support from senior management. -The company does not invest in marketing.Marketing is done reactively with no plan or strategy in place. -There's a focus on keeping profit margins in detriment of investing the money back in the business. - Job description for marketing professionals are very deceptive and several have left shortly before joining due to the frustrations here stated -Terrible maternity leave -Extremely bureaucratic and political -Hight turnaround -Founders are still heavily involved and head of departments don't have the authority and autonomy to bring change. Projects take years to finish, due to the huge number of stakeholders involved.
