Pros

Make good bank. Chance to train and travel extensively. Expect to be shipped out to a site any day, even holidays. This is a job that sells your time/life for buckets of cash. Don't expect anything else.

Cons

No life Most Relationships won't last through too many years of this job. Work / Life balance is nonexistent. Did I mention no life?

Pros

You are using the most updated technology and you can find very nice people in the team, allways bringing help if you need it.

Cons

Some managers are incredibly stupid and arrogant. Your promotion depends on the criteria of the manager with that stupid evaluation forms... if the manager, for any obscure reason you don't know, thinks that you are doing things ok and you can be a competitor in his career, he will try to promote for a field work in Nigeria, Angola, Irak or any other amazing place to live when you have a family.

Pros

It is a well organized company for expats. I had a clear training. But as I did not come from the field my career growth was very limited.

Cons

There is not good balance between life and work for field personnel. Some times is more important who you know for international transfers that your accomplishments.
