Stay Between The Lines
Pros: Exposure to just about everything digital. Opportunities for global business experience. Smart co-workers. Great place to start a career.
Cons: Don't waste time trying to innovate or collaborate here. Bad for mid-career transition, high risk you will be leveled down, crammed into a pigeonhole, your expertise ignored (unless you're an engineer or Program Manager maybe) and get mired in a stifling review system. On the other hand, if you can find a way to go home at 5:00 every day and play with your kids and don't mind constant senseless reorgs, the benefits are great.
