Business Outlook
Pros
People, scope of work, decision making authority for US matters, the ability to move disciplines when a position would open up. Also, it was great to be working as a small subset of a large multinational company, which is how the US was situated. Enjoyed the longevity of many of the groups, not to mention the teamwork attitude towards each other.
Cons
A non US company makes it difficult to find career growth and leadership paths. Your position was often simply a go between with the head of research in the Netherlands. Although you know your market, it was not always recognized over in the Netherlands that you might have a better methodology for releasing a product in the United States of America.
