Started great, ended worse.
Pros: compensation and benefits start out great.  The sign on package will get you hooked.  The global team is very welcoming.
Cons: Leadership in the organization I worked it has progressively gone downhill.  No longer do they care about building  a strong team, and only focus on metrics and producing deliverables with the least amount of manpower/head count.  Local leadership will find every possible way to tell you how the team is not performing well, and will routinely spin metrics to hide the flaws and gaps in process and workflow.  All the while touting transparency, and fairness.  Yearly required training talks about these concepts, but locally they are not evangelized.  If your output starts trending downward, they will literally push you out in front of the bus.  Local top leadership is expecting blind loyalty and obedience, and will burn you out if you don't.  The once great team, is now just a shell of it's past self and being decimated by poor senior leadership.
