Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of international travel opportunities if you're interested, although you're generally not offered a choice of where and when to move, so you have be be very flexible

Cons

Pressure cooker environment, not conducive to work-life balance. Employees are generally automatically promoted to management after 5 years which is good for career growth, but doesn't always mean that your manager will be perfectly suited for that role.

Pros

Resources. Global presence. Travel opportunities. Great people.

Cons

Duplication of effort. With 120K employees and many different business units you can spend a month working on something that someone else has already written a solution for before you find out the work is not needed.
