Pros

Efforts are appreciated and well rewarded. I was able to drive and own projects and take full accountability for it. The job was very varied and I particularly liked the way we were continuously trained and updated. Also the bi-yearly performance review was very useful. Definitely a very fast paced environment with a heavy workload wich by default requires a good level of stress and adrenaline. For me this is a plus as it keeps you sharp in a continuous keep-on-learning proces.

Cons

watch out for burn out! During my 7 working years a European Department was created and grew from 4 HC to 20 HC. While still in the process of expanding it was a shock for the +/- 180 employees to hear the announcement of the closure of the entire European site. I consider this a capital mistake in vision at the senior management level. But also this comes with the fast paced international environment I suppose...
