Pros

- you get to work with interesting and smart people - you get exposed to different industries

- very slow moving because of bureaucracy - can have a ton of busywork - if you're hired as a 'local' hire abroad you make 1/4th what a person with the same qualifications as you make as an 'international hire' - horrifying pay inequality
