Pros

Amazing mission. Very wide variety of personality types. Interaction with broad base of disciplines, from engineering to medical to business to marketing.

Cons

Always reorganizing. Not that it is bad, it's just that very few people actually understand how things work from beginning to end. Lack of training.

Business Outlook

Pros

Speaking for North American division, great benefits and development opportunities. One's colleagues are among the best in the industry. Therefore, to get ahead networking is a must.

Cons

Office politics sometimes gets in the way of recognition of true contributions. In terms of personal development, one must be accountable to pursue opportunities even it means dealing with difficult managers.
