Pros

the benefits are good (although most of them are not "advertised", so you might go without claiming them) opportunity to grow and see the world

Cons

terrible "life" balance (work hours are very long) "disconnect" between management and day- to -day activities (frustrating to try to meet internal regulation)

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.
