Great salaries/bonuses. 100% work/0% life balance as a field engineer.

Pros

You can expect a high salary right off the bat. The company makes a ton of money and is well respected by their clients. Field work gets you direct exposure to the client, so you become in essence the spokesman for the company.

Cons

If you're doing any kind of field work for the company, don't expect to maintain a personal life. Field work is typically more suited for younger employees or the "retired" types. But if you pay your dues and stick with the company through thick and thin, you can be rewarded in the end.

Good place to work meaninglessly most of time but still with OK pay.

Business Outlook

Pros

Getting my pay check to buy food on the table and support my family.

Cons

1) Job role defined unclearly. Managment calls it as team work. But with no individual contribution recognized, how can anybody progress? 2) Performance review is meaningless. It is almost end of Q3 of 2008, no objective set yet. 3) Matrix organization structure making communication lost sometime. A bunch of people, no one really taking responsibility.

Was a great company to work for... not anymore.

Business Outlook

Pros

International exposure, top technology, cultural exposition. Great opportunities to develop, many different areas to grow to.

Cons

No personal life, transfers way too often that do not allow development of family life, personal considerations not considered, remuneration is better with operators or competitors. It is not worth it anymore to go around the world when same salary can be made at home.
