A big company might need to work on unifying its over diversified culture and value.

Process engineer

Pros

Literally a place where almost everyone can find his place because the company is too big and so called 'culture' is really diversified. System is rigid and complicated, but the foundation is there, only depends on who is really using it and how you use it.

Cons

Work life balance is not for everyone. Pretty much depends on who you work for and what you want eventually (in this company and industry). Not a place for people with big ambition unless they are politically savvy.
