Pros
Great opportunities to develop as a professional within your field. The culture is supportive and the mood laid back. Everyone is friendly and respectful of one another and whilst soft benefits such as premier tickets and after work activities have diminished due to belt tightening, when there is a social event its very well organised.
Cons
Senior management is overly represented for the value they bring to the company. For instance its not unknown to have a VP with no one underneath them. Secondly, there is US centric view of how business should be operated, which discounts the local conditions in other territory markets. The cookie cutter approach doesn't always work and as such it can give rise to perceived arrogance when you get a delegation of people from LA telling you how to run the business or do your job.
