Pros

You can take you career wherever you want it to go. You work hard, are given incredible opportunities, and are compensated appropriately

Cons

Say goodbye to pretty much all your friends and family where you are from. You are not given weekends, and are provided a very irregular work schedule. You can work for an entire month without taking a day off. You can spend months away from your friends and family back home.

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
