Pros

Small UK operation (<200) Attempts at inclusion and engagement Family-owned, changing (if not quite removing) the profit imperative. Opportunity for travel to some very pleasant sites worldwide.

Cons

Satellite offices can feel very remote (naturally) from decision-making. Many many people with at least one eye on retirement. Very much a subsidiary of the Global organisation - limited autonomy.

Pros

Solid steady company, generally nice people and it can help people advance if they so choose.

Cons

Privately owned, so many decisions are made arbitrarily, not always having to be vetted properly. Globally, decisions would be made that would not be in the best interests of the US market. Also, if you're an internal employee, it could be difficult to be promoted/advance within the company. You get stuck with new duties, but no new titles/pay.
