Business Outlook

Pros

There is a strong knowledge and professional base within the company and a lot of global opportunities. Many people are great to work with and share that knowledge. If you are mobile you can advance far in the company.

Cons

Politics prevent a lot of strong performers from advancing. If you are a good producer and creative you need to watch your back a bit, as gossip can trump performance at times.
