Pros

Flexible working hours, remote working. Many working level colleagues around the world are pleasant and helpful. My line manager is very supportive (but himself constrained by the company's poor leadership and lack of finances).

Cons

Frequent retrenchments and re-orgs, which do not produce positive results. The people who have been bringing the company down are still around and protected, and are not answering for poor decisions made. A bunch of them fill their ranks with loyal unquestioning bootlickers, some of whom are unqualified, inexperienced, unethical or downright incompetent, maybe all of these, but are favourably looked upon for sucking up so well, demonstrative of leaders' poor judge of character. Shenanigans like this bring the business down to new depths every year. Biasness towards whites, especially those in the EU. There are many talented people in the other regions, but the top jobs and plum assignments are obviously given to white Europeans even if they are less qualified and experienced than foreigners. The upper tiers of the org charts are occupied by whites in the EU. Cost cutting measures apply to everyone except management and their cronies of course, who have still been flying around the world and spending on wants and not needs, while employees around the world are being retrenched. Forget about getting a fair increment and bonus unless of course, you're a white European or you are able to lick boots well and with relish.

Pros

Office is clean. Free electric vehicle charging is available.

Cons

Global Leadership is forcing RTO which is presumably to get people to quit so they don't have to have a RIF and deal with that backlash. There's no reason for it after posting great numbers while everyone was remote or hybrid. Leadership is expecting the same output from employees as those at the banks in Charlotte. But that's without the benefits of high pay, big bonuses and unlimited PTO. Unless you're on a director's favorites list, you are just a pawn.
