Pros

It's a global company that provides good training to their employes , health benefits and overall it provides good practice. It's good as a first job.

Cons

When you star working for a company that is proud about having outsourced all the work they had in the U.S. and even sort of mocks of the strikes that former employes started; you can imagine what you are getting into
