If you want international mobility you can get it Some great products Very good salaries and perks

Cons

Very aggressive culture within the company (only the strongest of the alpha (fe)male will survive. Too much change within short periods; not enough stability Short-term pressures detract from long-term goals

It pays the bills

Pros

Good reviews you keep your job. Work as much as you want till jobs run out. This year they weeded out people with transfers instead of firing/laying off people. If you are lucky you get a good set of knowledgeable people to work with when you hire on.

Cons

My field of work you don't advance, by what you know. Have 11 years in company and get passed up by someone with 2 years. The learning advancement I-Learn, is so out dated and information cant be found on subjects. There is no type of seniority structure in the company. There is a time frame to advance, but not given time to accomplish the task. Going to 7week course to learn what you already know.

Pros

Excellent training, all processes well-defined, you know what to do to get promoted, its all in your hands hard work, you can choose to continue on technical ladder or choose managerial and you will be on the same level no matter which one you choose. Wow, its indeed and excellent company. Ability to travel and work worldwide

Cons

Head count reduction when there is a downturn is very bad, the company is now known for this worldwide which is bad. Job security reduces employees morale ad they opt out whenever they can
