Multiple international sites comes with timing challenges. Complex business, multiple BUs, and product lines can be challenging to work across.

Pros

Good Colleagues, Decent Pay, Management cares, generally strong experience and competence across teams.

Cons

Large corporation means some things move slowly or are difficult to change. Office was a bit dated. Older cohorts mean risk of expertise leaving upon retirement without many younger colleagues to take up the knowledge.
