Pros

Challenging & Growth oriented environment. Good people to work with. Employee friendly policies at global level

Cons

Outdated systems & processes being used. Higher level local management need to embrace global culture and empower people to take decisions. Too much of control on things like transport facility, work from home option, team building activities related expenses. Lot of work needs to be done on employee engagement. That said, US management seems committed to improve culture. Only thing is it shouldn't get too late...

Pros

Opportunities to support global activities

Cons

Heavy micromanagement — frequent revisions on ppt to minor details like font size and colors. Frequently calling staffs even after work hours and lunch time. Manager often takes on additional work from other teams without considering current team workload, So the manager appears supportive and “nice” externally but creates additional burden to the subordinates. Manager controls team budget strictly for team-building activities (events and meals), team members feel restrictive and reluctant to participate, for example team members dare not order appetizers, dessert or drinks on top of entrees during team events. Manager used up most of the travel budget. Biz trip and personal travel boundaries are unclear, especially when manager frequently has business trips overlaps with personal travel. Seems like manager using biz trip to get free hotel and free air tickets for PTO.
