Merit based Opportunities
Pros: Opportunities for stretch assignments and taking on additional responsibility have been mostly assigned based on merit rather seniority during my time.
Cons: Global role comes with the challenge of stakeholders generating churn 24 hours a day from Sunday to Friday so work life balance can easily become lopsided.
A pro is that management do give you the freedom to work in a way that works for you, however no one is going to figure that out for you.
