Pros
Work with some very intelligent colleagues and added greatly to my marketable skill set
Cons
It's a culture in which everything must be done immediately and there are no boundaries regarding personal time. The company is constantly changing its focus and projects are often left unfinished when new issues or projects arise, making it extremely challenging to complete goals. Change appears to be made at the whim of the senior management. For example, the company is moving all corporate employees to one central office in a high cost-of-living city, with very little office space to accommodate newly transferred employees. Company is also moving payroll-related functions to a new city at the same time they are transitioning to a new work platform. Said moves are resulting in a huge loss of institutional knowledge for employees rejecting relocation. Other regional offices and home-based workers beware...no job is safe.) There is a significant lack of communication between key corporate departments resulting in duplication of efforts, or in some cases, certain departments are taking reign over certain processes with little or no vetting to those impacted with these changes. Shelf-life of the North American CEO role is typically 3 years. If you can stay around and weather another change it might get better - or it might get worse.
