Pros

Global Brand Recognition – Being part of a well-known international business adds weight Access to Large Projects – Opportunity to work on major infrastructure and construction projects you might not encounter in smaller firms. Structured Systems & Resources – In theory, large corporates have established systems for compliance, procurement, and operations. Job Security (Until Restructure) – Larger organisations often offer better financial stability… until a global restructure hits. Decent Compensation & Benefits – Generally better base salary, pension, car allowance, and healthcare options compared to SMEs.

Cons

Lack of Personal Development – Little to no 1:1 coaching, minimal career planning, and few growth discussions. Disconnected Strategy – Top-down decisions often miss regional market realities; strategy felt vague or non-existent at times. Under-Valued Workforce – Frontline staff often treated as numbers, with little recognition despite strong performance. Slow to Innovate – Decision-making can be painfully slow, with good ideas lost in the chain of command. Restructuring Culture – Sudden role changes or redundancies due to global decisions made without local input.

Pros

Easy work not physically demanding at all. Decent money but your good money comes from all the overtime. You get paid weekly and I work anywhere from 50-60 hours a week bringing home after taxes $1000-1300 a week.

Cons

SURPRISE schedule. You don't know what time you start the next day until about 6 pm the day before. Could be 2am. Could be 7am. Also randomly have to go in at 11 or 12 pm and work all through the night until maybe noon or 2 the next day.
