Pros

The money was good in my opinion. I got a $10k increase three years in a row without being promoted and I got several bonuses. They sent me to Europe for my first time, almost all expenses paid for a year. They even provided free flights for family to come visit me. I couldn’t believe that I had such an amazing opportunity only a year out of college. I was given a lot of responsibility and I was in rooms with board members, executives, and even the CEO. I gained a lot of experience developed several skills.

Cons

They favor Europeans over Americans and non- minorities over minorities. They constantly brought over people from Europe to do jobs that I feel should have gone to existing or new US employees. The work life balance at the corporate office is non existent. Then when people quit they will add their workload to yours despite the fact that you are already working 60+ hours per week. Theh have no clue what their strategy is and keep changing directions which requires the same work to be done over and over again. The deadlines are completely unrealistic and management is a revolving door of Europeans who don’t know the US market and insist on implementing European standards in the US. It really disappoints me that it turned out how it did.

Pros

Benefits are excellent, most people at the peer level are great. Clear performance expectations. Decent cross functional communication

Cons

Company leadership very European and doesn't quite understand the American consumer even after being in the US so long. Unreasonable expectations are the norm. No upward mobility unless you are European or speak fluent German.
