If it is not company policy to not have your cell phones out on your desk then I would say a red flag. Micromanagement might be a problem that gets bigger?

I just received a verbal offer as a program manager at vp level from a US BB in London. Unfortunately the number was a round down of my current pay.

Should I accept the offer?
The HR told me that there will be opportunities for promotion in the next 12 to 24 months.
