Pros

There are opportunities to work almost anywhere you'd like around the world -- this is a very big company with hundreds of locations where one could work.

Cons

BV is a "numbers" company, where performance is mostly judged by the financial reports being spit out to upper managers.

Pros

- Remote work - Easy and rote work, usually involving the same technologies over and over again - Likely to find at least one other coworker who is also miserable, to commiserate together

Cons

- Pay is below market rate for positions - Little-to-no opportunities for upward movement nor lateral movement, in employment within company - Overly reliant on single, massive clients - Work was tedious and monotonous for ^ this reason - Atrophy of advanced skills, which were never needed for this job - Vulnerable to implode if a single massive client pulls out - Company touts "green" and "eco" conscious values, yet company is actively, hypocritically, engaging and ramping up its contracts with massive oil companies in Western Asia
