Pros
Some good people to work with. It could also be good if you want to expand your international experience with managing teams or customers.
Cons
The leadership dynamics at this company (i.e., company politics), could have greatly benefited from enhanced clarity and stronger teamwork. It often felt like the drive for personal recognition outshone the pursuit of collective success, making collaboration across various teams quite challenging. Achieving set goals or completing assigned projects rarely led to acknowledgment. More often than not, contributions were downplayed, dismissed as inadequate, or attributed to other factors. This tendency to overlook team and individual efforts was demoralizing. A significant focus on "what have you done for me lately?" overshadowed previous accomplishments, rendering yesterday's achievements irrelevant. This was especially frustrating when those efforts were precisely what had been requested and aligned with the roles for which we were hired. This approach was disheartening and resonated throughout the entire team. Communication issues started at the top and complicated effective execution. When directives were unclear or strategic decisions affecting the company were made in isolation—without involving or informing those directly impacted, who presumably were hired to contribute to such decisions—it left many feeling sidelined. These decisions were usually not communicated to the team, resulting in more confusion. For anyone who is considering a leadership role within this company, insist on having every detail, every task, goal, and responsibility, including explicitly the reporting structure within the team written out and signed off on. This will be essential for navigating the company's environment and ensuring that contributions will be recognized and valued.
