Pros

New Americas management is actually interested in developing product and growing the business. The past year was spent brutally downsizing Americas, then dressing up the unit for sale. That deal was trashed, and now the president of the Turkish group is running Americas. He has brought new energy and direction to the business, but developing new products and landing new customers will be challenging given harsh resource constraints and poor delivery to customers in 2016. Still, direction, purpose, and product vision go a long way toward improving morale. Nice office. Good location. Fair compensation. Capable staff.

Cons

Group still must answer to well-compensated jackanapes in London. The company's IPO was years ago, and management have so thoroughly obliterated shareholder value that it'll be years before they can show their faces at the Equity Corral.

Pros

Very good vacation policy. 6 hours accrued per pay period starting day one plus about 12-13 company paid holidays a year. Nice office in San Francisco. Free snacks. Good IT department. Very smart and hard working coworkers. Decent pay.

Cons

Company seems to have fallen as quickly as it was growing initially. Major disconnect between management and staff. The lack of news from management regarding the direction of the company created an environment of uncertainty. With the large number of layoffs, the company started experiencing a large number of voluntary departures as remaining employees found other opportunities. There was a major disconnect between the UK and the US offices. Cultural and management styles were vastly different making it hard for teams to get things done with different objectives and constantly changing priorities.
