Pros

Remuneration appears at or above average It is quite easy to move between countries for people with international ambitions Reasonably caring and compassionate attitude in my legacy company

Cons

The lack of connect between "legacy" companies and the US mother ship appears to cause the leaderships of the local companies to make some odd decisions. This is natural in a company that has grown inorganically so fast. The memo's sent from the very top don't relate to the real world. Advancement opportunities for the senior management of local operations are connected to the holding company: so they naturally concentrate moving up rather than managing down. Lack of organic expansion leads to the few extremely talented people one would find in any organization leaving faster than they otherwise would.

Pros

Decent company, good stock plan, good people who want to see you grow

Cons

Very remote management makes things hard, very little team work is locally siloed so its hard for managers to understand the boots on the ground view. Managers are great people but spread very thin, sometimes they accept work before having staff for it(classic consulting move)
