Pros

- Colleagues from all over the world and all levels of society, most of whom are nice - More flexible working arrangements than most companies of a comparable size - Subsidised food delivery service saves time - Occasional company engagement events which create opportunities to meet new people - Good maternity benefits and accommodation for new mothers (not much for fathers, unfortunately)

Cons

- The head office and all senior management have relocated to Singapore leading to the feeling of increased power distance - The company feels like two separate companies (HG and TX) who have incompletely merged - no overall leadership or strategy leading to middle and senior management pulling in different directions - The HR department have had multiple rounds of complete turnover, leading to inconsistent policies and an unclear performance review process - Annual below-inflation pay rises. Because of the unclear performance process, the only way to match or beat inflation is to go through a bureaucratic out-of-cycle process or sacrifice other team members' pay rises entirely - 10+ hour workdays have become the norm due to high attrition - Invisible C level leadership

Pros

Benefits are excellent, most people at the peer level are great. Clear performance expectations. Decent cross functional communication

Cons

Company leadership very European and doesn't quite understand the American consumer even after being in the US so long. Unreasonable expectations are the norm. No upward mobility unless you are European or speak fluent German.
