Pros

Training: fixed step training for 3 yrs Exposure to latest and greatest technology Responsibility given early and what you do with it determines your progression Fast pase tests knowledge and responsibility (dont make a mistake) Vast array of career maps and options that reduce as you move higher

Cons

Easy and very possible to have lack of work/life balance for first 3 yrs. Can seem lost during first 2 yrs until you complete GFE (possible turning point in career) No structured/effective mentoring program Management can get caught up in red tape Career options/maps reduce as you move higher especially if you are technical Too much restructuring and confusing changes

Pros

Proactive people, great leadership opportunities, best in its field

Cons

Promotion slows down after hitting mid-management level, bias may rear up in certain regions with certain nationalities, in spite of the management's best efforts to keep it truly diverse and inclusive. Overall, great place to work.
