Pros

I'm not really sure there are any to be honest. Nice office space? Everything looks shiny and nice on the surface...

Cons

Everything about the place. Majority of staff are aggressive, rude and foster a horrible working environment. People all out for themselves, with no real teamwork

Pros

Peer group and other employees are supportive and fun. Environment is fairly flexible for some people

Cons

Where to start... Senior Leaders (internationally) are self serving and completely disconnected from the EMEA business but continue to make (terrible) decisions on behalf of that office. Good employees with extensive knowledge of the market are leaving by the handful. The attitude tends to be 'it was time for them to move on anyway' rather than any level of introspection as to why everyone is leaving. There is no ownership or accountability in the EMEA business as everything is owned globally, therefore there are now plenty of leaders with nothing or no-one to lead. The global matrix structure means that decision making is incredibly slow and frankly ridiculous! Everyone is very secretive, leading to a culture of distrust and a very unpleasant working environment. Senior management need to step in very quickly and turn things around before the EMEA business goes under.
