Pros

Great overseas opportunities; work/life balance is awesome, very flexible, there is more interest in whether you get your job done but not necessarily where you do it; professionally I have had great opportunity for growth in my discipline.

Cons

In the past HR has seemingly viewed the employee as the enemy rather than someone to support. This seems to be changing with the new organization so we are hopeful. Bad external press and low base pay caused low employee morale in the past. Recent moves to rectify base pay off cycle are very encouraging now. Company is very performance-based so beware if you don't deliver! Although location is quite flexible (e.g. if you need to stay home for any reason), it is expected you will do your job so be prepared for some weekend and night work.
