Pros

Autonomy within role. Remote/Hybrid Flexibility. Decent Benefits. Decent Pay (depending on the role). Company car (depending on the role). In my 4 years with the organization I can say I personally recruited some of the best talent I’ve seen.

Cons

Inconsistent compensation structure. Very limited to non existent performance based incentives. Total rewards… far from it. Internationally bound structure/framework which creates significant hurdles and delays in operations and IT. European leadership very intolerant of acclimating and understanding the US employee. Biases at interview stage are real. Very cliquish environment. Lack of respect for employee relations therefor enabling retaliation.

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.
