Pros

Working on fun brands and a region (AMEA) with fantastic growth potential. Some good colleagues in the local markets. Nice office.

Cons

Extremely incompetent regional leadership team who do not lead by example and seem intent on micromanaging and condoning negative politics. Very, very different from the previous team of leaders that focused on driving business and people growth.

Pros

Always busy with challenging work.

Cons

Office politics slows things down, seems like some of the work is about checking a box and not about really creating value or improved processes.
