      Company going downhill

      Accountant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Most of the people I worked with were nice and I am still friends with some.

      Cons

      IT outsourced most of their US sites to 3rd party consultants and Finance is very slowly going through a reorganization and laying people as it down-sizes. Everyone is overworked. Not going to get anywhere if you don't know how to play office politics. If you report to a manager that actually knows how to manage, you might get some recognition, otherwise it is usually when you do something wrong.

      Inefficient Systems, poor process management

      Accountant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      In my current role I get great flexibility in start/end time. Even as an entry level hire I find that as long as I'm getting my work done efficiently and timely no one is breathing down my neck. In the shared business services (SBS) model I deal with a variety of managers across different departments and roles within the company, which is good name recognition for later when I might want to transfer roles. There are many training resources available to further my professional career.

      Cons

      Unfortunately the model to outsource everything makes getting anything done very difficult. Many times I spend twice as long, or longer, tracking down the proper people or acquiring access in order to complete a task, than the task itself takes. The number of log-ins I've acquired is extremely high and my head is often spinning with the number of systems I need to access for a variety of different tasks. Management is too overworked to provide proper guidance and training for my roles. Further, I find that every money saving shortcut has endless examples of inconvenience on the actual employees of the company. I don't like to think that I am one of the 'little guys' being stepped on as they make their corporate decisions. There's definitely a disadvantage to working in America for a foreign company.
