    The good thingsYou learn to adapt the dresscode culture. First impression last. Employees are dressed in coat and tie for men and dress for women especially when meeting a client. As much as possiblw everyone speaks English. You learn from others and they learn from you. They allow you to grow in your profession. You travel a lot especially if you are a senior or managing position.
    The challengesLearn to be careful with your words when correcting others or avoid namedropping when you make mistakes. Accept corrections and be courteous to your superiors. Avoid "tsismis". Work hard and you will be rewarded.
