Pros

Opportunities to travel overseas with expense package

Cons

- Employees will often work in countries without valid visa (experienced employees are sent to countries to work for a client and are told to tell immigration they are going there on 'training') - Management(Management of Asian region in particular) expect employees to work unpaid hours on the weekend - Management are very vindictive after resignation(expect to have your last month's expenses withheld) - Upper management(once again the Asian region) run projects for which they clearly lack the competence. The consequences of this are shifted down to grads on the project - Compensation and progression is terrible, performance on client side is virtually irrelevant
