Pros

some DEI initiatives & corporate activities

Cons

- upper management has unrealistic expectations of timeline for execution of strategy - hands are tied by Chinese division informing long term strategic direction of US team KPIs - solid colleagues and employees but they are reporting to an inexperienced middle management team who are focused on their individual KPIs rather than fostering a good working environment amongst teams
