Pros
It is interesting and challenging to work in a truly international company with different cultures and colleagues from around the world.
Cons
The company culture has changed significantly to the negative side since the new CEO and subsequently lots of his "buddies" came on board. I guess everyone in the company understands that costs need to be cut, that's not so much the issue. What is really frustrating is this double-face game they play. They pretend to be such a caring organization, they talk about ethics, and at the same time they couldn't care less... it's all on posters, videos, everywhere, but it's not honest! They talk about cultural diversity while they are not even willing to acknowledge that there is any other culture than the U.S. culture. Employees who have made serious contributions over years - often decades - are laid off over night, ironically most of the times the ones that were willing to speak up and provide their own view - not wanted anymore. We are told on posters to "act like entrepreneurs", in fact we are micro-managed and controlled as if we were criminals who are only looking after their own benefit. I sometimes wonder how we could become that global leader we were (yes, already before!) if we all were so stupid and selfish. Talent and knowledge are not respected, everyone is told that there is a young person waiting around the corner to take this job.
