Benefits are excellent, most people at the peer level are great. Clear performance expectations. Decent cross functional communication
Cons
Company leadership very European and doesn't quite understand the American consumer even after being in the US so long. Unreasonable expectations are the norm. No upward mobility unless you are European or speak fluent German.
