Pros

- flat, not heirarchical organization - good pay - overall nice environment, lots of young people - international (your extended team includes people from all over the world, more often than not) - focus on safety - work life balance is OK, you rarely need to work more than 9h a day, and work hours are flexible

Cons

- intern rotation (hard to get a contract once you've completed your internship) - bureaucratic - little attention to employees, little feedback on performance or directions - little information circulating
