Pros

They are better than some contractors as far as quality of work. For a small company they provide some benefits. Overseas work is growing and appears stable. They are a favored contractor for U.S. Embassy projects. Provide decent housing, transportation and monthly living expense. If you carry your family, the housing is better.

Cons

Benefits are sub-par although they seem to be working to improve this. The salary appears OK until you begin working the long hours, 60+ hours per week. I worked overseas and the work hours were horrific. It's not clear in your contract, but forget holidays. The only holidays observed by project management other than Christmas, were local holidays that fell on Sunday (your only day off)! A lot of pressure to beat the schedule. Quantity trumps quality when push comes to shove.

Pros

International work in interesting locations. Project teams can be great from job to job.

Cons

No long term career growth. Senior management will gaslight you with promises. Nepotism is a joke at this company and kills morale. If looking for a short term stint overseas Harbert could be an option. If looking for something long term stay away. You will be passed up by a relative of someone or one of the 15 VP's yes men.
