Pros
Great Pay Lots of exciting traveling all paid for by the company 17% flat tax when working international 6 weeks on 3 weeks off in remote location (almost never honored, but the days off accumulate) Challenging A lot of responsibility from the beginning Tons of great training Working with people from all different countries and different backgrounds When you get a difficult job done, it can feel very rewarding
Cons
Very difficult to maintain any kind of work-life balance. The more work you can handle, the more they will give you until you eventually brake. Any small mistake can end up being your last with the company Management, more-so the industry, forgets that we are people, not robots Lack of sleep sometimes or any kind of sleep schedule No set work-on, work-off schedule - it all depends on what's going on - very difficult to plan anything You end up missing big events with your family & friends such as weddings and group vacations Difficult to keep a healthy relationship with girlfriend/spouse
