Business Outlook
Pros
Global firm name and reputation especially given current circumstances. Foreign-based firms are probably relatively safer and "more stable" than their US counterparts. This also translated to a greater diversity in the workplace.
Cons
Office was very standard and no-frills. Clear lack of team direction and togetherness with a very tight hierarchy adhered to. This often translated to lack of motivation and a lot of time being wasted waiting for team members. Lay-offs were also frequent and a lot of the work experience will revolve around which group you are being placed in, with some groups definitely having a stronger culture than others.
