Leadership create unnecessary politics
Pros: Salary, stock, US led events. Culture in other offices (apart from Australia) is really good. Good flexibility but the workload is really high so you cant always take advantage of it. Business class travel for long haul when you are senior.
Cons: Insincere leadership that lacks authenticity in Australia. They are all too busy writing their own publicity and reading it. Culture in Australia not the same as other offices, is very political and it all starts & ends with the current MD. It is not a culture that embraces differences so if you want to join, be prepared to suck up to MD, adapt your communication style to 'their way', do lots of self promotion and get really good at understanding how to manipulate the scorecard to "look good" like the others.
