Pros

International Experience. Toughens You Up.

Cons

What's the point of all the training If the Job is not Sustainable? Manager are ex-field engineers who are burnt out and love to put on a show. Safety is nonexistent.

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.
