Long term employee - joined via acquisition
Pros: Provides unique opportunities for employees, including advancing education, leadership training and the ability to move into new areas of the business without changing companies.
Cons: Quarterly pressure on results can lead to short term decision making, for example including short term cost controls, etc. Also, support for "mobile" employees seems to be changing in favor of locating groups of employees in specific locations, which apply constraints on specific roles and will lead to significant reduction in opportunities for employees.
