Pros

Global company with opportunities for people with specialized technical skills.

Cons

Don't expect loyalty beyond your immediate manager. I was transferred from Minneapolis to Australia with my family and then was laid off. The company wouldn't bring me or any of the others back to a job in the United States. Our former managers were sympathetic but did not help find us new positions. We were on our own. It isn't easy to have you 5 year old starting kindergarten in Brisbane and explaining to him we are pulling him out of school and don't know what country we are going to next. I ended up going to work with a competitor and have done very well since then. Don't expect anything from this company beyond what they are required by law to do, such as a paycheck. Being fair, this seems to be the mindset amongst the engineering consulting business in general nowadays.

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)
