Pros

Great people. The company looks good on resume. You can be involved in quite different projects - many global. Good place to get global experience.

Cons

Very little advancement, promotion, or recognition of individual talents. It's who you know, not what you know. Middle management has been promoted based on seniority and have very little mobility up or lateral. I have seen one young individual contributer promoted into management in my 8 years, and I have changed two business units during my tenure.

Pros

Pay is good, especially on holidays! you get days off during the week and you work every other weekend

Cons

The schedule is hard, 12 hour days for 1 month then 12 hour nights then switch back. the environment is tough, the work load is heavy. not always the support you need to help you. favoritism, Management can be difficult, sink or swim type of culture, The testing is nearly impossible to get through. In the end you can do a great job in learning the job, if they don't want you, you will be replaced!
