Business Outlook
Pros
I work in research, which is populated with really smart, intellectually vigorous people with big, bold ideas. Many disruptive and groundbreaking technologies are developed here, with potential for huge positive impact - it feels like we're working on important stuff.
Cons
It's an old company, with often slow-moving processes like budgeting and appraisals. Executives at the parent company are (not always but fairly often) conservative and parochial in making decisions to fund or advance innovations. The best innovations don't always make it to market in a timely fashion. Change is happening but slowly.
