Pros

Good pay, excellent opportunity to earn some income in a hurry. Tax-free benefits. People are great. Company has excellent medical and dental benefits.

Cons

Spend a lot of time traveling overseas and working away from home. Often times, middle-management fails to communicate with subordinate workers about what the expectations are regarding specific tasks and priorities.

Pros

Management takes your suggestions seriously. They don't micromanage and give you some leeway to accomplish the job. Awesome place if you're a self-starter and don't need constant guidance.

Cons

The hiring process can be a pain.

The pay is good and the caliber of the employees is generally great, but the HR department is severely lacking.

Pros

The medical benefits for overseas deployed employees are awesome. Cigna International is, hands down, the best insurance I've ever had. They generally cover 90% of everything. The premiums are low. Flexible spending account. 401k with matching. The overall compensation is very competitive.

Cons

The HR department utterly fails. They leave you in the dark during the hiring process. There have been numerous pay problems that I've heard of and also experienced myself. You have to stay on top of them to manage your issues. Three years for any 401k vesting...
