Much in flux

Pros

There are still a few folks that work there that think it is possible to change the world - contact with one of those folks is like touching a star.

Cons

But, many of the senior-most management are SO disconnected from what the foundation of a university is... there is NO culture of 'correction of error'... its always the next thing and no one addresses real fundamental operational issues or talks about mistakes (its one thing to get chewed out... its another to brush everything under the rug). The are making up a lot of strategy as they go... and relying on a lot of slick powerpoints that, pretty much say the same thing as I'd expect from any MBA class (in x years, we are going to be [insert aspiration]...) but there is little linkage of strategy to action.

Pros

There is a lot of potential within the company; you can move throughout departments, network, and meet people in a plethora of occupations, allowing you to customize your career based on your talents.

Cons

In such a large company, it is important that you do something that sets you apart from the rest. You can easily become a number if you allow yourself to fall in to that.
