Great Company to work

Pros

You have the ability to move all over the company and build skills. Your ability to advance is only limited by the work you want to put in.

Cons

In general you need to make your own breaks. There are some outstanding senior leaders but there are also some marginal ones and as a result moving the company in one direction is a challenge at times.

Pros

Working for a division of such an enormous corporation allows the mediocre and incompetent a perfect place to hide or fly under the radar.

Cons

Zero accountability. Zero management support. There's a lot of lip service, but no real backup. Recruiters who behave recklessly and without ethics are rewarded so long as they're the manager's pet. Recruiters who are lazy, fall asleep at their cubicle listening to their iPods and hold 4-hour interview with "hot" candidates are not reprimanded.
