Business Outlook

Pros

Pays well, very competitive salaries and bonus Smart people Lots of places to learn and tap into the expertise big company with many projects/products under development Can have a lot of responsibility below Director Level in terms of reports. Benefits are good, ability to take time off for sickness, etc is 2nd to none.

Cons

You can get lost in the shuffle when the yearly reorg come about. If you want to move up, need to make sure the execs you're hitching your wagon to don't get sideswiped. Sometimes you do just get lost in the size of the place

Many opportunities, if you're willing to look and relocate.

Terrible raises and bonuses, even for good employees. Declining benefits each year. Co-location was handled poorly. Near constant fear of layoffs is stifling.
