Pros

In Asia Pacific, at least there are some decent souls able to help you in your first and second month. I appreciate the helpful colleagues in Singapore site that I met. Honestly.

Cons

Overall direction is bad. I cannot help to advocate and launch a campaign to engage staff when I am not convinced and convicted about it. Sorry, but there is something call conscience.
