Pros

1. Extremely well chalked out training program which can help to build great competencies. 2. High mobility on the ob so within two years (during training) you get to travel al lot and after acquiring experience many other international opportunities open up

Cons

1. Very restricted growth. You do acquire knowledge and skills but in a very specific area so moving to some other speciality after a while becomes difficult. 2. As it goes with service companies, you do have to take crap from the client.

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.
