Pros

Large global company with opportunities in many areas. The bankruptcy a few years back allowed the shedding of debt & many obligations so it is setup to be a profitable company going forward.

Cons

Minimal budget allowances for support services, outsourcing is commonplace, knowledge drain with the high turnover. New CEO bringing in his own 'people' has left many areas rudderless.
