Diverse businesses with long stable careers still possible. Constantly changing.
Pros: Strong enterprise business with big impact in may markets and multiple businesses in the billions of dollars. If you want to learn how to do business in a complex environment with field and partners, this is the place to get good at it. It is one of the few places you can still have a diverse and long careers possible. The constant learning and international opportunities are also unique.
Cons: Being a big company with strong entrenched businesses, you always need to be more strategic and be a strong influencer to get things done right. No cop out for cutting corners for the sake of being faster if it's not the right thing to do. The only above average pay means this is not the place if you are looking for a big payout, but the work, skills and camaraderie are worth it.
