Pros

The pay and benefits are excellent for freshly graduated engineers. The basic pay is much higher than the competitors for the same position. Field bonuses are lower than the main competitors, but the overall take-home is pretty hefty. The most bulky benefits are the special stock purchase plan for the employees, and the profit sharing plan.

Cons

Work to life balance is very dis-satisfactory. The number of field engineers hired is kept to a bare minimum compared to the number of field jobs. As a result, this increases the work load on the field engineers and keeps them busy around the year. Moreover, there is no rotation for International Mobile employees. The maximum number of days off plus vacations we get is 90, which is pretty low compared to the work intensity.
