Good initial exposure but tied-down by bureaucracy

Pros

Good initial exposure to real life business environments, with the right coaching can gain skills rapidly, work flexibility, excellent coaches/mentors (you'll need to find them)

Cons

Tied down by bureaucratic red tape (you'll spend more time engaging/aligining internally when working on an externally-faced project), people working in silos, strategic vision is lacking at management level, HR restrictions on expatriate/foreign postings, tolerates underperformance
