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
