Pros

Salary and benefits are good and there are really hard working people trying to do their best work

Cons

Constant change and turnover are taking their toll, morale is down and being micromanaged by the UK. UK ways of working do not always translate to the US. Poor raises and lack of promotion opportunity are difficult. No budget for continuing development or training.
