Pros

It is a well organized company for expats. I had a clear training. But as I did not come from the field my career growth was very limited.

Cons

There is not good balance between life and work for field personnel. Some times is more important who you know for international transfers that your accomplishments.

Do it or we'll find someone else who will mentality.

Pros

Opportunities to shoulder responsibilities are given early in your career. If you give it your best, those around you and upper management will notice. I have found the workplace to be very results oriented, and more often than not, a strong meritocracy culture prevails.

Cons

Change is a constant, and brings with it both the positive (constant change means you get to try out many things, and different ideas, some of them your own), and the negative. Some negatives of constant change is that a lot of energy goes into change management, which perhaps could have been deployed in other areas.
