Business Outlook
Pros
You have the opportunity to take your career in many different directions. (Jobs are posted internally, but like most job-hunting networking is important.) Most people seem to have a good work-life balance. There is a lot of talk about alternative energy and developing new technology, which is exciting.
Cons
The work processes are pretty weak (relative to an ExxonMobil, for example). This allows flexibility, but also causes a lot of confusion about how to get things done and what goals are most important. Senior managers are strong, but middle management is decidedly lacking. People follow seemingly random career paths and frequntly do not have the skills and knowledge they need to manage the group below them very effectively.
