      Pros

      Many opportunities to move up in the company. Also, there are many positions to move laterally in the company. Working abroad is also available. The work environment is extremely professional and makes for a productive and exciting place to work. The company is big with over 300,000 employees all over the world. And it is possible to communicate with each employee easily and efficiently.

      Cons

      The only down side I can see is that because the company is so big, it is easy to get lost in the crowd. Other than that, I can no other downside to working for this company.

      Pros

      Experience working with a global company is invaluable. Many opportunities on the consulting side to work just about anywhere in the world there are IT needs. Boasting wise - it is a world renown company which looks good in your portfolio. If you take advantage of networking opportunities you can meet some really sharp individuals who can aid you in your career growth.

      Cons

      The amount of time required to complete work often requires late nights, early mornings, weekends. In other words, expect to work 50+ hours on a regular basis to complete just the bare necessities of your workload. Also, formal training in a classroom environment is rarely permitted. Salary increases is quite the exception for 'good', 'reliable' workers in or out of a recession. Exceptional performers who produce intellectual capital and certify in various disciplines see an increase in their salary.
