      Somewhat hectic and politically challenging environment. Very international and great opportunities to learn.

      Pros

      Strong multinational team, great expat location and guaranteed sunshine most of the year.

      Cons

      The politics can often get in the way of the best decision or solution being carried forward, which hurts everyone concerned. It is quite simply too hot in summer with 50 degrees + as well as humidity.

      Pros

      Once hired your recruitment needs to be justified at a pretty high up level, so job security is virtually ensured Lots of opportunities for travel and personal development/training Flexible schedules around deliverables and work from home Compensation is mostly 75% of industry average so I would call it fair

      Cons

      Large matrix organization; a lot of conflicts and politics to navigate through Low promise of creative juice use as most policies standardized through regional hubs like Houston, Singapore, London or Hague A lot of fear of speaking because of European specifically British undertones; leaders say one thing on your face and behind the doors have a different opinion altogether at times Slow decision making; immense bureaucracy and red tapism
