Pros

Immediately after joining straight out of college, worked multiple international assignments. This is something no other company lets you do. It is intense but if you have the courage to grasp it then it's worth your while.

Cons

This company can be very bureaucratic and hypocritical. As much as they preach safety I dont believe they truly care, its more of a CYA. Secondly, there is too much cost-cutting which adversely affects the bread-winners: the field population.

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.
