Pros

Good company to start with. Technology, culture, people.

Cons

No work - life balance. To be successful in the company you have to forget about your friends and family and be 24/7 on-call, ready to go offshore in one hour after receiving a call. A lot of paperwork, procedures, manuals, etc.

Pros

+ Great Salary + Many Talented people working there + Fast Growth opportunities I've worked there for a little more than 3 years and it was a great experience for me. I met very talented people, learned about technologies I've never seen before. There are countless benefits working there, but they expect a return in productivity.

Cons

+ Intense journeys + Rigid "No error" policy During my period there I did my best to get everything done right, so the "no error" policy never really bothered me, but I've seen some really good friends let go because of failures. I had journeys up to 26 hours straight, which was very unhealth, but sometimes it's necessary to make sacrifices for the team.
