Great Company

Pros

Personal as well as business development opportunities are basically only limited by the individual. Who is able to cope with side effects of a global corporation (a process for everything and plenty of approvals for everything required) can develop him/herself unlimited.

Cons

A Corporation is like an oil tanker, not a speedboat. So one needs extreme patience to chenge things.

Pros

A lot of opportunities of things to do. Works to ensure you're technically skilled and shows interest in what you want to learn.

Cons

Who you know is critical to success. One size fits all mentality to jobs/salaries etc. forced poor reviews (even for good performers within strong groups)
