Pros

International Travel Experience, the colleagues and friends you'll make, financial remuneration, the ability to work in an environment which is not only challenging but a giant black box of an industry to outsiders. The ability to control (and understand) such an asset, not only that - but someone elses asset. playing with million dollars worth of equipment.

Cons

The lack of knowledge of knowing where your going to be posted next, not seeing the ones you love for long periods of time. Not being able to tell the ones you love the next time you will see them. The length of jobs (offshore can be upto long periods of time) without a break.

Pros

Truly international company, you work with nice people all around the world and you will work with great people with top education. We can do it attitude. Your colleague are more your friends not just coworkers. Company invests to the people grow, trainings, etc and counts its people as a main value. When something goes wrong company will help you, very good package for sick leave, additional holidays, and benefits. Career opportunities are broad; you can change a job inside the company or be relocated to another part of world.

Cons

When hired on junior position you will stuck in development program for 3 years which blocks you from fast growing. Until you get mobile status the salary is not the best one. Work will become a strong part of your time, it is not a 9-5 type of job (this could be a problem for somebody, in my case I like this way)
