Business Outlook

Pros

Great personal development opportunities, particularly internationally. Really feel like you matter to the organisation. Great communication from the leadership. Great managers. Good opportunity to network and collaborate with overseas colleagues.

Cons

Being based in the UK, it sometimes felt like your office was a little bit of an afterthough, since major decisions come from head office in Germany or Switzerland.
