Pros

Getting to work on some cutting-edge products. Some teams are insulated from Taiwan and the office politics that pervade other parts of the company. Some people legitimately care for the company and others, but that's not a culture generally supported by the C-Level executives in Taiwan.

Cons

No long-term strategic vision for the company. Constantly shifting priorities and budgets, based on quarterly (or even monthly) company performance. Knee-jerk and short-term reactions that undermine the long-term potential of the team. Little or no respect for the value of employees or the teams they build. People are just resources to be dialed up or down like a utility. CEO is easily influenced by the last person to have met with her. CFO oversaw several years of declining sales and received a promotion to "President of Sales" as a result, which is unreal. Half a dozen CMOs in the last 5 years. Incredible political tension between global and regional teams, which bleeds over into the office environment. Quite possibly the most toxic environment I have ever been a part of, and I'm glad to have left.
