Pros

One of the companies that offers a high salary straight out of undergrad, international exposure, an established mentorship program, and a clear organizational structure.

Cons

No work-life balance, working long hours, which seems doable at first, but once you do it, it really messed up your mental. Hence, if you realize this is not for you, qui fast before it's hard to leave

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
