Pros

Amazing colleagues - the people, not the processes get things done. The culture among the folks that move the needle is excellent. Genuine engagement around social causes - really walk the walk and not talk the talk. Ahead of the curve of flex-time / wfh Would "recommend" to a friend with major caveats.

Cons

A lot of institutional barriers - internal moves are the result of good politics and seldom competence. Salaries are competitive, bonuses are not. Unless you are in HK or the UK, you are a secondary / tertiary market and treated as such. Often "central" orders roll out and by the time they arrive in a local market are not recognizable because of too many people opining along the way. Result: a LOT of paper-pushing work

Pros

Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

Cons

At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
