Pros

Good starting salary and benefits. Working with many globally based colleagues and an opportunity to travel the world. Maybe a good stepping stone in the early years of one's career.

Cons

IT shop is completely overrun by Indians (contractors mostly), and that too only from a specific state in that country called Telanngana. They speak their dialect even during meetings and most of them are highly "non-inclusive" , they kinda think and act like they're running some exclusive insider's club.. If you're looking to launch your IT career, here.... DON'T!! Salaries are bottom-barrel, hourly rates even worse, and almost all IT is the hands of the indians who've been the HR gate keepers for many years now. Mostly they only let in their own , which leads to the usual office politics, gossip, back-stabbing and other offensive behavior you won't normally find at other companies. Anyhow, doesn't look like it will change much before I retire. Whatever.

Pros

There are lots of opportunities to grow. Every day you hear about someone moving up. Management seems humble and realistic. They know that United wasn't always the best airline and they are trying really hard to change it. The dress code in many non-customer-facing departments is business casual which makes for a relaxed atmosphere.

Cons

While the benefits are great, the travel benefits and 401k match are better at one of their competitors. But I have no interest in living in Atlanta.

Pros

great travel benefits, union benefits.

Cons

starting off, you're making below the poverty line and are expected to live in a major US city (NYC, Chicago, LA, San Fran, Houston, Denver). i was hurt in turbulence within my first year (had to have MAJOR shoulder surgery - after 25 months of fighting for it) and was fired after 4 months for "being inactive exceeding the length of active duty".
