      Pros

      Good benefits and competitive salary. Unlimited training opportunities both internal and external. Very diverse work force.

      Cons

      The company promises to provide you with a work life balance during the hiring process, but fails to deliver when you are hired and on the job. Most employees work 10-12 hour days and even on some weekends just to meet project deadlines. The company says that they look to hire people who thinks outside of the box; however, you will not advance far in the company if you actually do think outside of the box as most operating units in the company are not very receptive to change.

      Pros

      it pays really well, lots of opportunity for global travel and career progression. on site gym is really good, they care about the health of their workers. subsidised lunches. they have a really good Christmas Party.

      Cons

      It pays so well people never leave and stay in jobs for ever. people get bored and cynical with regards to the company. They are big and having to deal with departments like HR can be very very very painful. you have to liev in some truely god awful places like texas and aberdeen, scotland. They are actually the better places, you could end up being shipped out to the middle east or east africa!
