Pros

The company actively encourages home working. Although a large percentage of my time is spent delivering training at sites across the UK when I am designing or developing training packages I can work from home. No commuting takes an average 2 hours off my working day and saves me about £120 per month.

Cons

The company is permanently downsizing in the UK. Senior management always seem to be playing schoolboy football. The flavour of the month is relentlessly chased until someone achieves their bonus, then it's on to the next target. Internal promotion is now rare as the senior managers seem to think they can only improve the company by attracting new blood. This was definitely true a few years ago but the reverse has started happening now with a lack of stability in structure and direction.

Pros

Benefits are better than most US companies. You get twice or triple the numbers of days off per year.

Cons

Focus is more on originating company location for group events and emails. Due to time zone differences, it can be difficult to work with others without adjusting your schedule. It is difficult to get promoted outside originating country. Roles are few and far between in the US.
