Business outlook
Pros
Very smart people, lots of global opportunities if that is compelling to you. Big company wields a lot of power with vendors so great benefits, decent vendor relationships where vendors are allowed to operate.
Cons
If you don't want to work globally, it will hamper your career progression and your opportunities. Not the best place for women, particularly those who want a work/life balance. These days, most of the growth and innovation is very limited to a couple of groups who are then pushing protocol and platforms out to other parts of the organization. If you want to be a trailbreaker, the opps are limited.
