Pros

Teams in North America are the hardest working individuals. They have incredible talent and are extremely supportive.

Cons

Every part of UPM is controlled and ran by management in Europe. This means that the teams in other regions are stifled, siloed, and become stagnant. This alienates innovation and process improvement, perpetuating an atmosphere where talent cannot be maintained or grow.
