Pros

+Great company to get some solid professional and all round grounding +Good to stay for a couple of years and then move on +If you are not based in US or India you will never make it to the top

Cons

+No personal life - you become tied to the company +The company is not really that strategically minded. +There is an inner group who look after themselves and those outside who despite having real stregths do not get considered for career progression. +The individual gets lost in the bigger picture - you become a number. +Too many Senior Management in Continental Europe are self interested and are totally detached from the "troops"
