Pros

Good things here come to those who hustle, not those who wait. Good ideas float to the top rapidly, and get implemented quickly. Recognition of talent is also common place, and several programs exist to highlight our achievements when we go beyond our call of duty. If you keep abreast of the markets, the industry and the product line, you are bound to have a soaring career here.

Cons

It's a large company, and you need to push yourself to connect with your colleagues. Hoping your boss will open all your doors for you is a recipe for failure.
