Pros

Exposure to multicultural environment with high chance to be based in different parts of the world. Rewarding job. Wide opportunities to develop the career inside the company.

Cons

Poor work/life balance, especially for field employees. Complicated procedures and policies. Being in a service company you will get pressurized from two sides, the client and the management which most of the time it will be really stressful.
