Pros

International exposure is bar none; the training is excellent; and the calibre of people you meet is never failed to amaze me.

Cons

Brutal hours and the type of work is often random and sporadic. As a junior, it is very dependent on the quality of the manager since he can make or mar your time there. This is more than evident since a high-flyer will take you along and teach you a lot and a sedentary mule is going to make you insane with boredom. Lack of choice on progression of juniors - you have to put your time in at each level and no real performance evaluation benefits; global locations can include undesirable ones

Pros

Good pay package. The company rewards hard work, and if you're willing to put the extra effort and hours, you will make a lot more money. Field engineers tend to make a % of the work done on top of their base salaries, so you can get rich fairly quickly. Training is pretty good too.

Cons

Work-life balance is not the greatest. Hours can be unusual. Locations are horrible, unless you enjoy living in the middle of no where.
