It takes a village
Pros: Window into what it takes (or not) to mobilize a 400,000+ workforce
Mobility across functions despite lack of prior experience in the role - early career advantage
Window into political capital, art of influence and 'bubbling' your agenda up - early career advantage
Advantage of a big network - large pool 400,000+ implies more connections, not all weighted equal though
Cons: Diminishing returns after initial learning period - few years of job rotations
Hours without boundaries - 'always-on' for weekends and wee hours can take a toll
Can be drudgery if you're stuck in a no-growth market segment (maturing/ declining)
