1)The workload is heavy, no surprise there – but that’s pretty much the norm in this industry and economy. You really have to be ready to put in the hours.
2)Pay isn’t the most competitive, especially if you’ve been here a few years. It’s something people do notice and talk about.
3) Working globally comes with real challenges. You’ll be coordinating with teams and clients across time zones—like calls with the West Coast or late-night meetings with Asia. and the toughest part is often the cultural gaps, whether it’s between the U.S. and Asia or across different parts of the business (like research, commercial, and production). It takes some getting used to, and everyone feels it in their own way.
