Pros

The industry is fascinating and the financial stability of the company is solid.

Cons

Don't plan on having a personal life. A typical day for me: starts with 7 am conference call, meetings all day long where you might have a rare moment for a bathroom break, a 12 midnight conference call, and the next day expected to be in the office between 7 - 8 am. The environment does not allow for the most productive work. Many positions require that you travel globally and work 7 days a week. I was surprised at the low caliber of IT expertise and the lack of technology. Working remotely, even in unusual situations like a major blizzard, is frowned upon.

Pros

Pay is good, especially on holidays! you get days off during the week and you work every other weekend

Cons

The schedule is hard, 12 hour days for 1 month then 12 hour nights then switch back. the environment is tough, the work load is heavy. not always the support you need to help you. favoritism, Management can be difficult, sink or swim type of culture, The testing is nearly impossible to get through. In the end you can do a great job in learning the job, if they don't want you, you will be replaced!
