Differences of working with American & European

All the while, I was working in america companies. This time, is my first time working in europe company. Yes, both are western companies. But their style are totally difference.

After working in this company for 5 months, I come out a comparison:
1. American just want outcome, no matter how you did it; European don't, they require you to answer every details & questions you with all the non-sense things.
2. American are flexible to change; European are reluctant to change.
3. American dare to try out new challenge; European dare not to challenge.
4. American allow/trust staff to work independently; European didn't allow you are capable than him/her.
5. American will listen on your proposal; European are ego & stubborn to accept your ideas.
6. American will look for the company benefits; European only look for personal benefits.
7. American are planning for long terms & looking forward; European are looking for short terms only.
8. American are helpful; European are selfish.
9. American are aggressive; European are defensive.
10. American are polite & gentlemen; European are rude & irrespective.

I was thinking whether I'm bias/prejudice on one side. But, these really what I can find out. Some more, European always not dare to fight among themselves & always shoot the bullets to us, which we are not the decision maker/problem maker.

Really feel unfair & messy. Kek Sim~!!!
