Great capacity to learn but should come with a hazard warning
Pros
Great clients and huge capacity to learn. The salary is good and the perks are great.
Cons
Employee safety is not at the top of the list. I was nearly killed in Senegal in a car crash when I was hit by a bus. The car was totalled. There was no support from the company and still had to finish the weeks work. You don't even get training on health and safety when in the office. The destinations can be great but can also be horrific such as deepest darkest Africa. Don't let the ft500 companies sway your decision as these companies operate in the worst parts of the world as well as the best and you will be sent there. The job get boring and repetitive after a while and there is absolutely no advancement in emea. The promotion matrix at which the company designed makes it impossible to get promoted because they include technical skills you are graded on for which the company does not train you on and things like participation in public forums which are not even relevant and also leads to no work life balance. You never actually finish work because the management don't acknowledge when you finish and will email you or call you at midnight with no hesitation. Some really technically inept people working at this company as well which are endorsed by the management and complaints go ignored. If your a fan of lip service, this is the company for you, there is loads of it. Still being in coms with some existing staff and they tell me morale is rock bottom.
