Pros

Free transport, lots of free meals at 5-star hotels, lots of celebrations, stable company

Cons

Internal environment is highly political, politics is being played at every level, technical skills, knowledge and hard work cannot take you to the top, but managing your manager and being manager's pet are the real skills required to grow here
