Pros
The HQ building is nice, I guess?
Cons
Where do I start? - Management style is toxic, at best, and completely flailing, at worst. I can't say too many good things about upper, middle, or lower management. Upper management is more concerned about trade prices than their employees. Middle management is too concerned with getting as high up as they possibly can to be concerned with "big" (or even "small") picture ideas. Lower management is apathetic and riding on their paycheck, enjoying the benefits of their employees' hard work and taking as much personal credit as they can, all the while micro-managing and sucking all of the life out of their employees. - As a legacy Global employee, this merger was absolutely chaotic. Very little was communicated, and, from what I have seen, no team was exempt from poor decision making from above. Again, upper management's only goal was to increase stock prices. Employees were treated as expendable, which meant that the pathetic "Employee Appreciation Week" just felt like a total slap in the face. But, hey, I'm supposed to feel valued because you offered a virtual yoga class. Cool? - Want work/life balance? Don't come to Global. You won't get any of that here. The expectation, no matter your pay grade, is that you will either never take PTO, or that you will work through your PTO. Like your family? Sorry! Global has no sympathy for you. Never forget - to Global, the only thing that matters is Global. If you enjoy having a life outside of work, probably not the best fit for you. And with COVID, the working expectations have only gotten higher - partly because they know you can't do anything else. Partly because they have let so many people go (without any foresight) that you're now not only responsible for your own job, but you're responsible for others' jobs as well! - You're basically guaranteed to work above your pay grade (but, no, of course they won't pay you for that - and, don't bother asking, you'll likely be ignored). Be ready to make advances you're not yet comfortable or qualified to do. Get excited to be set up for failure! You will have no support from whatever management you have, and likely no instruction either! Good luck! - And, for all of this, you likely will not even be paid the industry standard.
