Busy but boring

Pros

Opportunity to work with people from all over the world.

Cons

Little delegation of responsibility. Worked on some interesting projects but upper level managers would then take over the project leaving the "worker bees" with little opportunity for growth and exposure during decision making process. With no opportunity for development, work became boring. Disengagement among employees was the norm.

Pros

Great travel policy when not in a period of "cost saving"

Cons

No work life balance, US centric model with expectation to take calls at all times of day and night. No value placed on any of the UK team. They acquired a really good company (TGBP) and then slowly sucked the life out of it. Not before moving senior US based staff to London at great expense who couldn't run a kindergarten and don't listen to those who have experience. Too many superfluous roles added.
