Pros

Decent Compensation, global travel, good technology (oracle) Interesting Industry. I was afforded a great opportunity to travel the world, work with colleagues in many countries. We worked hard and were rewarded likewise.

Cons

Sr management is in over their heads. They cannot manage the industry cycles. I was hired after the 08 global financial crisis. They all promised to "never let that happen again" Survived all layoffs and left on my own terms in spring 2013. Many many excellent and skilled employees with years of experience were laid off. I wanted to stay, but couldn't handle the uncertainty. By then corporate was Toxic, and nobody had a clue as to what to do. Hire and Fire that's BLY!
