Pros

Good salary, theoritically a good job of high impact

Cons

People look the other way when they bribe officials, get rid of those who speak up, harrassment is normalized, and numbers are more important than impact.... They can plan a project, take 5 years to complete it, it is no longer relevant, and instead of shifting, they continue expanding because it looks good for them.
