Pros

International scope but quickly goes away of your manager is parochial in thinking

Cons

Management micro but no management. Frequently going off to lunch which they try to infer is business development. Do little to no work. Take ownership of all associates efforts and then bully them if they make a mistake. It can be a very toxic environment.
