Pros

Global company performing well financially, largely through cost-cutting and repeated restructures.

Cons

The EMEA region once outperformed all other regions - ironically, during a period when it operated without a dedicated regional leader. Performance, morale, and stability have steadily declined since then. Leadership decisions often feel reactive rather than strategic, showing little understanding of local markets. Frequent reorganisations and shifting priorities have disrupted teams, caused the loss of experienced staff, and eroded trust. A culture of control has replaced collaboration. Confident or experienced voices tend to be sidelined, and decision-making remains centralized and detached from day-to-day realities. The result is a region that feels less agile, less motivated, and far less effective than before.
