Business Outlook

Pros

- Managers are not locally located, which means there's less micromanagement and more autonomy in how you work. - Good opportunities to take ownership of your role if you are proactive.

Cons

- The culture in some teams feels like an "American boys' club", which can be alienating and discouraging. - A few managers lack the competence or people skills required for leaderships, which affects morale and team performance.
