Thank you for leaving us a review. At A.S. Watson we actually don’t hold any of our operations in America henceforth it’s extremely difficult for us to ensure your feedback gets to the right place. We’re very sorry we couldn’t be of much help this time.

Pros

- Likely to be exposed to multi-country projects - within projects, typically you'll play multiple roles

Cons

- little / no employee development plans. Everything is ad-hoc, knee jerk and firefighting - lots of fiefdoms - management by fear, micro management. No encouragement for innovative thinking. Employees focused on and encouraged to cover backsides. - work output/quality is generally just enough. Rarely is it of a high standard - no conscious business processes. Most seem evolutionary and bureaucratic. - project schedules unrealistic, over-scoped and badly under resourced
