Pros

You are pput in touch with so many people internationally that you can really improve your skills interacting with such a diverse group of people.

Cons

I always felt like they could easily conduct lay-offs at any point and no amount of hard work would matter, because it would be adecision coming down from the higher-ups. But I suppose any big business would feel like that.
