Pros

Amazing colleagues - the people, not the processes get things done. The culture among the folks that move the needle is excellent. Genuine engagement around social causes - really walk the walk and not talk the talk. Ahead of the curve of flex-time / wfh Would "recommend" to a friend with major caveats.

Cons

A lot of institutional barriers - internal moves are the result of good politics and seldom competence. Salaries are competitive, bonuses are not. Unless you are in HK or the UK, you are a secondary / tertiary market and treated as such. Often "central" orders roll out and by the time they arrive in a local market are not recognizable because of too many people opining along the way. Result: a LOT of paper-pushing work
