Pros

- Good salary and good annual leave - Good people to work with - Lots to learn and lots to do - Remote position

Cons

The job can be extremely stressful and overwhelming Higher ups don't have a sense of reality to the actual employees doing the work If you work the late shift, be expected to not have a lot of time for any hobbies or family You don't really get bank holidays off, and you also have to work the American holidays which the American employees get off

Pros

fairly lax with lots of time to do things

Cons

many. Former CEO ran things poorly and took in managers who brought along their problems and animosities with them. Not only that, they were allowed to invite their friends to come and join too, many of them owing their jobs to someone creating a bro culture. Even though top mgmt changed since the sale, its many of these people still there to this day. Most of the systems were a black box, existing engineers were mostly uncooperative to keep their knowledge to themselves, the offshore engineers in one particular country were especially bad for this. I have seen major accomplishments achieved by someone, where so many others had failed, only to get fired soon after.
