Typical capitalist corporate company

Pros

Good place to learn and connect with other peers across the world.

Cons

Most local staff are underpaid especially low income countries. Even local heads of offices are like glorified secretaries, with no power to make any decisions. Even the young interns and junior professionals from UK have more power and authority than the local heads and senior managers in local countries.
