Work hours are brutal and many times you're pay is capped at 40 to 60 hours. Depending upon the group you're in, you may not be able to take your paid vacation, loopholes in host country regulations are used to not properly pay overtime or end of service

Pros

Flex time within a pay month, flexible schedules, an outstanding benefits package including a 401k retirement plans with 100% match on 6% of pretax and Roth contribution elections, several investment options, personalized financial planning through fidelity, employee stock purchase program, student debt retirement savings match program, and HSA options; several health insurance options with a wide range of monthly premiums and available benefits, FSA, HSA, vision, dental (Delta Dental), tuition assistance, PTO, holidays, and much more.

Cons

No automatic/across the board annual cost of living pay adjustments, only 5.3 hours total of PTO (with milestone increases for incumbents) each pay period (no separate sick, personal, annual, vacation, etc.), only 9 paid holidays with one floating holiday, no official employee evaluations or measured expectations, many employment pros and cons are dependent on supervisor on the contract - not corporate.
