Vantaggi
Nice facilities, fairly casual dress requirements, easy place to coast for slackers - No consequences to being a mediocre or worse employee - Farily stable environment unless you're sales - nice annual Christmas party
Svantaggi
No recognition of working above and beyond to cover headcount shortages, No point in doing a good job as recognition is non existent - great for slackers but not so great for hard workers with a a decent work ethic. Managers have no power whatsoever - Staff descions are made at head office in the US who have no idea what goes on in Europe. No pay reviews, very rare increases, no real development for employees. Very American attitude of " if you dont' like it get out". No advantage whatsoever by excelling at your job. No development, no career progression ( unless VP level level or part of core US team) Great place for people are poor time keepers, excessive users of sick leave and job shirkers.
