Pros

You'll see things you haven't seen before, lots of good people...ability to learn a lot of great information! Lots of resources available.

Cons

...but one bad one ruined it for me. A direct report of mine was unengaging, combative, condescending, and just at times downright rude. He looked at helping me when I needed it like it was to be frowned upon, and when I presented things to him, he made it a point to make me look stupid, wrong, and incompetent. Associated with just about everyone in the department BUT me on a regular basis. Then, when it came time for me to rely on him to follow his offer to help me if I needed it at the end of my time there, I got thrown under the bus instead!

Pros

Good thing national teams allow remote work opportunity because there's not enough space in the local offices anyway, but you might just end up working after hours more often than not.

Cons

No pay raises year after year which is an actual pay decrees when taking into account inflation, fake "flexible" PTO, required to work 45 hours a week without any overtime, raises, bonus, or any financial reward which actually matters. You have to do ridiculous workday feedbacks, and self review every quarter but it means nothing because they don't even consider the feed back you've received when laying off. It is your job to find work, and when there is't enough work for you it's your fault, not leadership's. You get promised new projects and they are always delayed for months at a time and many times nothing even comes out of it. Pretentious company that likes to call itself "family" - only red flags here.
