Pros

None as this department was poorly managed and overly complex in structure.

Cons

This department is run by people who don't know how to manage. The idea of globalizing the department was usurped by the need for the department to be run out of the Berlin based office. No matter how hard you work to meet work demands and please the client you are not considered good enough to work for this team outside of Europe. Their expectations were for the team to be paperwork pushers while they were "managing" everything. Very hostile work environment.

Pros

nice and fun summer picnic at Disneyland and winter dinner at a fancy place, people are friendly

Cons

Expected to work 24/7 and around the clock. Not much appreciation for your hard work...and horrible schedules that expect you to sleep less than 6 hours a night sometimes, people gossip too much, upper management consists of inexperienced uneducated employees (ie. No degrees)
