Pros

Great international career opportunities. Always paid on time. Significant corporate resources available for training talent. Decent stability and work/life balance.

Cons

Scared, bureaucratic culture. They say the business is a bit like the Titanic - it takes a hell of a time to turn it around. At least in Brazil, nobody, especially HR, is really any good at execution.

Pros

Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

Cons

At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
