Pros

- surrounded by talents - company does care about day to day well-being and learning oriented - strong worklife balance culture

Cons

- decision mostly done from the HQ and local would need to follow, sometimes takes interesting time length to finalize - career growth is limited if you are not in the HQ - pay may vary depends on the location - highworkload, could be like you're doing two people's job with 1 person salary

Pros

Collaborating with global teams, being part of a diverse and inclusive culture, and working with great team players and competent, caring leaders in some parts of the organization (not all).

Cons

Limited or no advancement opportunities in certain areas. Complicated organizational structure. Too many initiatives running in parallel without alignment, leading to inefficiencies and waste. Frequent changes and reorganizations without fully considering the impact on the affected employees.

While those factors have been positive so far, it is unfortunate to hear about your experience when it comes to career growth opportunities.
