If corporate ethics are important to you, this is not the place for you

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits for the size of the company Some managers are willing for employees to balance work/life commitments World class vacation benefits.

Cons

The leadership team is primarily comprised of highly paid expats that chose to stay in the US. The leadership team doesn't care about developing the staff and promotions are not based upon demonstrated delivery of performance but rather based on how politically connected you are to the decision makers. The business does not promote teamwork nor does it value providing developmental feedback to employees who want to make a difference. The organization doesn't value inclusiveness and doesn't treat employees fairly and consistently. The business doesn't stand firm on its commitments when extending sign-on bonuses and relocation assistance.
