Pros

very informative and educational experience

Cons

Very poor response by Senior Management on HR matters. Disaters like Union Carbide in India and BP Oil Spill in Mexico can happen any time due inaction by Board. Investors and share holders to dig. Incident reporting for small issues be treated as fatal incidents. This common lesson learned from very small reportings.

Pros

- Remote work - Easy and rote work, usually involving the same technologies over and over again - Likely to find at least one other coworker who is also miserable, to commiserate together

Cons

- Pay is below market rate for positions - Little-to-no opportunities for upward movement nor lateral movement, in employment within company - Overly reliant on single, massive clients - Work was tedious and monotonous for ^ this reason - Atrophy of advanced skills, which were never needed for this job - Vulnerable to implode if a single massive client pulls out - Company touts "green" and "eco" conscious values, yet company is actively, hypocritically, engaging and ramping up its contracts with massive oil companies in Western Asia
