Pros

People were the best reason to work there. They were the best.

Cons

Bad internal departmental communication. It was like pulling teeth to get anything from any other departments. Very little feedback from middle management about job performance and how to make it better. Per diem allowance makes it very difficult to feed oneself even eating at McDonalds in Europe and Asia. Days off without pay in a downturn minimized ones merit increases and profit sharing. Taking forced time off made it difficult to juggle planned vacations with ones family
