Pros

Tons of opportunity for career growth, development, and networking on a local and global level. Many workers are smart, competent, professional, and willing to help new workers. Good compensation, benefits, and pay. Office environment and safety culture are very strong and positive, and it really make you feel more of an individual versus another employee in a big company. Work-life balance is promoted and encouraged.

Cons

There are times that the life portion in your work-life balance is expected to be sacrificed in order to deliver, especially at high level positions. IT services are atrocious. Red tape and bureaucracy can be much at times, especially when certain policies, processes, and philosophies are introduced or promoted with the hopes of conformity to new employers and people new to leadership roles.
