Pros

Pay and benefits are excellent as compared to stateside positions. A very good chance for promotions or transfers to other departments.

Cons

Overseas working conditions are harsh if one is not used to that environment. Promotions are not always made on merit; sometimes based on "popularity" of the employee. Pay & benefits are on the low-end as compared to other overseas contracting companies.

Pros

Decent company, good stock plan, good people who want to see you grow

Cons

Very remote management makes things hard, very little team work is locally siloed so its hard for managers to understand the boots on the ground view. Managers are great people but spread very thin, sometimes they accept work before having staff for it(classic consulting move)
