Pros

This is my first job right after graduation. I am on International Mobile from Pakistan to Latin America (Colombia). - Good Money - Transition to a responsible adult - Financial Independence - Great start to an exciting career - Loads of learning from engineering perspective

Cons

- Management sometimes fails to understand the 'cultural difference' being an IM employee - Lead hands may have worked only in their respective countries and hence, fail to understand you - Lead hands may treat you like 'slaves'

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.
