Pros

- You get to work with some of the best technical experts in the industry - Excellent career progression opportunities...if you are willing to put the hours in!

Cons

- They work you to the bone. Weekends, nights, 3am on a sunday, etc...was difficult to have a life outside of work. - Your training and experience can be a little too specialised. After 5 years, I knew a lot about one particular aspect of one particular subject only. I lost sight of the 'bigger picture'

Pros

If you want international mobility you can get it Some great products Very good salaries and perks

Cons

Very aggressive culture within the company (only the strongest of the alpha (fe)male will survive. Too much change within short periods; not enough stability Short-term pressures detract from long-term goals

Pros

Good reviews you keep your job. Work as much as you want till jobs run out. This year they weeded out people with transfers instead of firing/laying off people. If you are lucky you get a good set of knowledgeable people to work with when you hire on.

Cons

My field of work you don't advance, by what you know. Have 11 years in company and get passed up by someone with 2 years. The learning advancement I-Learn, is so out dated and information cant be found on subjects. There is no type of seniority structure in the company. There is a time frame to advance, but not given time to accomplish the task. Going to 7week course to learn what you already know.
