Pros

Challenging work with a plethora of businesses and industries to choose from. Entrepreneurial environment combined with a lean workforce means you're tasked with big projects from the get go and have the autonomy to decide how to proceed.

Cons

Salaries are lower than average, navigating through such a large company can be tough at times. Not a lot of "perks". Frequent travel may be a pre-requisite. Upward mobility might be difficult, but lateral mobility or "diagonal" mobility is pretty common.

Massive company, small company feel

Pros

Many different divisions, practical company policy of 80/20, good interpersonal relationships in my division. People still feel like family. Highest level of management tries to push more decision making power to the lower levels, which leads to more in-touch-with-the-customer decisions

Cons

Odd policy where few things seem to be written down. Jobs change hands over one conversation instead of through a documented process. Some people don't even have written job descriptions. When big change happens, the plan is figured out after-the-fact instead of before the change happens.
