Pros

- Good variation in day to day work - Excellent exposure to all areas of the business - Really good pay for a graduate and given high level of responsibility from the beginning

Cons

- Sometimes projects can lack direction from the beginning - Seems to a lack of internal communication between different departments - Wouldnt advise if you are an engineer that wants to go into something highly technical.
