"In the group I was in, I found the culture incredibly clubby and provincial. A high number of European expats, who favored one another in plum assignments, promotional opportunities, and recognition, led to an us/them problem. People get pigeon holed easily, and there is plainly a two-class system. The top tier basically travel, go to conferences, run their mouths, and generally do little or no actual work. The second tier stay in the office and do the work, frequently with little thanks from their peers. And the talkers are the ones who get the promotions and perks."
