Pros

Lots of responsibility and senior level exposure from the get go across a wide range of projects. Good support structure within an ambitious team and strong opportunities for development/progression. Makes sense if you want to deliver consultancy style work and variety but at a more senior level and see results through to fruition as well as developing longer term relationships and stripping out the PD/BD required in Big 4/external consultancies.

Cons

Need to be resilient to deliver some of the more challenging change programmes across such a large organisation. Like consultancy working hours ebb and flow but team is always fair about work life balance.

Pros

Benefits are better than most US companies. You get twice or triple the numbers of days off per year.

Cons

Focus is more on originating company location for group events and emails. Due to time zone differences, it can be difficult to work with others without adjusting your schedule. It is difficult to get promoted outside originating country. Roles are few and far between in the US.
