Business Outlook
Pros
Some areas are growing and getting funds to help them expand. If you come in at a high enough level, the amount of bs you have to put up with also declines.
Cons
The management skills of many of the people in leadership roles are very poor. A lot of good individual contributors have been promoted but have no idea how to manage other people. They prefer to do things themselves and spend most of their time managing their bosses. The infrastructure in very lacking for such a large company and people make up for it by working a lot of extra time. Also, if you are in a 'global' role that means you will be working around the clock - very early morning (6am) and late night (10pm) conference calls with people in Asia.
