Pros

- salary and benefits are ok

Cons

- micro management and too American - incompetent managers, everything in europe dictated by Americans who are not qualified to advise on european legal matters (but think they are) - nasty back-stabbing culture -no support from line managers and HR -no flexibility as regards working from home - no teamwork, hostility and most people too afraid of losing their jobs to speak out - very badly organised with too many layers and duplication of senior management roles
