The business model is changing to outsourcing. At times you get lost in this giant oranization. Salary is less than market.

Pros

Enormous opportunities to grow. Incredible breadth and depth in the talents of coworkers. Absolutely stellar opportunities to make a real difference around the world. If you manage your career, take personal responsibility for your path, you'll do fine. If you abdicate responsibility, you'll be lost.

Cons

Huge and unwieldy. Informal networks are more important than formal networks in your ability to get things done. You need talent AND luck in this place.
