Business Outlook

Pros

The best reasons would be the career mobility, being able to work in many industries within the same company and being able to work all over the country/world. The pay and benefits are reasonably good. I am happy with my level of responsibility and rate of promotion.

Cons

The upper management is very very removed from the "worker bees". There are many layers of management and it is possible to get lost in the crowd. Your direct manager makes a big difference in the quality of job you end up with. If they are stickler for all of the corporate policies the job might become unbearable. I am in the fortunate position to have a manager that understands how important the people are.
