Pros

Exposure to an exciting technological environment. Colleagues with varied experience and backgrounds. Teams are multinational, conference calls are a tool to be mastered if one wants to succeed in the office environment. Nice perks - company car, insurance. Team events held in nice locations - money is not the issue. Salary was good for the position (while not extraordinary).

Cons

Company is ill-equipped, technically speaking, for staff to carry out their tasks satisfactorily; budgets are prepared in convoluted Excel files. No investment or actual thought has been put to practice to evolve the finance function to match the overall company aspirations. Finance teams work with a support accounting team that is based in US, so there is a bad match when you have to partner with the latter team. When they make errors, it is difficult to correct them, as they have a different management and won't respond to anyone but. No technical training for staff. While interviewing, was sold a different role than the actual one, so expectations slowly turned out to not match reality of the position. Environment is slightly toxic, with office politics consuming a lot of time and energy. Staff have a dual reporting line, one is to their finance leader, while the other, more dotted but no less real, is to the country manager, and therein lies the conflict.
