Avantages
It is certainly working in an environment that is never boring. As a lot of the basics are missing in Europe there is a lot of opportunity for improvement. If you survive the fast paced, strenuous environment you can make a difference at this company.
Inconvénients
Leadership is hard to get to and often operating in their own cocoons. A lot of politics make it difficult to achieve anything. The Corporate organization is a Jekyll and Hyde organization that maintains an almost impossible balance between supporting the business and controlling/leading the business. Trying to look past the 1 year deadline to achieve some structural changes is hardly possible as a lot is focused on the NOW and the fiscal year's targets. The company wants to fly in Europe without growing wings first. As a US company the Europe "landscape" is simplified and a pointing finger is often targeted at Europe saying:"It works for us, so why can't you make it work?".
