Pros

Flexibility Work from home Security (pension package, Health insurance) Global reach Good school and a place to learn how an enterprise works

Cons

More responsibilities and more work doesn't always translate to better pay - almost never does in fact... Danger of getting lost in the matrix management system

Pros

Various opportunities to work in different departments Able to transfer between departments with not too much difficulty Growth opportunities if you know the right people

Cons

There is no work-life balance. Working during vacation time is also expected, if required. Salaries are lower than average in some cases even though performance is above average.
