Pros

Pay, Benefits. The bonuses are awesome but you have to remember that they are paying you to be on call all the time and away from your home. You won't spend much time there.

Cons

As a Field Engineer you are constantly away from your family. It is tough. If you are in a relationship and you want to be with this person do not take this job. I've just started three months ago and it was hard since I moved from another state. I still haven't decided on whether to staty or leave.

Pros

Training: fixed step training for 3 yrs Exposure to latest and greatest technology Responsibility given early and what you do with it determines your progression Fast pase tests knowledge and responsibility (dont make a mistake) Vast array of career maps and options that reduce as you move higher

Cons

Easy and very possible to have lack of work/life balance for first 3 yrs. Can seem lost during first 2 yrs until you complete GFE (possible turning point in career) No structured/effective mentoring program Management can get caught up in red tape Career options/maps reduce as you move higher especially if you are technical Too much restructuring and confusing changes
