Pay and benefits are great. MUST negotiate during hiring process. Thereafter, only through promo.

culture. if you fall outside of the norm in terms of language and culture, it is very difficult for you to be seen, heard, or listened to. Work life balance is non-existent. Be prepared very long hours to cover time zone differences.
