Pros

Worklife balance, vacation time, benefits, 401k, reward/recognition, bonus structure.

Cons

Constant change can be overwhelming. Creating more bureaucracy while promoting "streamlining", too many decision makers leading to lack of accountability and slow response time especially in technology. Lack of inclusion of North American leadership in key changes, leads to implementation of process and systems that don't work for the largest region.
