Pros

Spent time in Europe, Middle East, Australia and USA in first 4 years, which was awesome. The work is challenging, but you often work in a team that is like family. You will get dirty in the field and move your way into the office and then sometimes back in to the field. The training is top notch.

Cons

The market took a big hit, but is slowly coming back now. There is often high expectations which require overtime work. Difficult to balance family and work. Sometimes it seems like every month you are learning a whole new skill, which can be tiring.

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
