Pros

My managers are quick to recognize good hard work and significant effort and that is very much appreciated. Opportunities to work overseas are abundant and they are flexible with finding family jobs as well.

Cons

The company is huge so if you're not the best of the best it's easy to get lost in the crowd. Continuing lack of domestic job availability.
