A fascinating place of extremes
Pros: True general management experience is readily available at this company early in one's career.  The range of topics that you deal with as a manager is so vast that at times you cannot believe it.  The breath-taking level of scale and complexity at this company creates a steady flow of superb problem solving and general management challenges.  Indeed, these challenges are so plentiful that you will trip over them on the way in to work each day if you aren't careful.
Cons: (1) Everything is a priority, so nothing is a priority.  
(2) Far too many managers value speed over the end-product itself.  The company survives because the deep and experienced middle management veterans prevent the seniors and the noobs from making too many mistakes.  
(3) The pace is relentless.
