Business Outlook

Pros

Finding great people will make for a great time at the company. Can pursue lots of projects that are interesting. Managers wouldn't care where you worked as long as the work got done.

Cons

Very corporate in most regards, but also hard to get feedback in whatever you need in order to get promotions and raises.
