Pros

Great place to learn and get experience in junior roles and move on.

Cons

- Certain areas have no work like balance - Limited career advancement opportunities unless you have a senior executive sponsor with significant influence beyond certain levels. - The hiring decision is sometimes not yours to make but rather the executive calling the shots - Benefits are now worse than ever.

A couple of smart people who are kind and open to mentoring. Hours not bad given no deal flow in US.
