Pros
Solid pay and benefits, esp for parents with children of those who move countries. In earlier years of my career, promotions came quickly for those who were strong candidates. Felt very meritocratic at the lower levels. The US business - for a yr or 2 - only had directors who were brought in from other markets - implying that Americans weren't fit to run the US business. They slowly balanced this out. However, now, it seems there are only Americans in those roles....this is also a problem. We really need balance and not sure why they don't see that. HR is impoving it's use of leadership classess. Though the classes weren't mind blowing for some they were no dount helpful.
Cons
They squeeze all the fun out the job (inside joke to those who know what RB call squeeze). All we did for 6 months was cut the budget. I prefer to spend my time in marketing, driving topline and brand equity. Promotions are handled badly - when/how it will occur is confusing. There are way too many sr brand managers who have the talent to make the jump and few to none ever make it. Avg talent in other markets have a much easier time moving.
