Business outlook
Pros
Be the acknowledged authority on something. Manage yourself and pursue the things you think are important. Work with smart people. Influence high-profile clients and shape the industry. There are amazing opportunities for the right person. Charismatic, aggressive self-starters with good technical knowledge and marketing savvy will thrive.
Cons
Potentially, long hours and lots of travel. Annoying bureaucracy. Terrible IT systems. Ineffectual management. Nebulous goals. Performance measurement seemingly by dartboard. Some people work really hard, and some people slack all the time, and no one seems to be able to tell the difference.
