Pros

Working with intelligent people and fascinating products. Company values are positive and allow a lot of room for growth, and there is plenty of room for a diverse change if you get bored in an existing role.

Cons

Complexity and size makes it very difficult for the organisation to adapt to change. Too many meetings, required because the knowledge is silo'd and there are many stakeholders. Lack of significant budgets to really maximise the opportunities, also limiting the scope of what can be achieved.

Pros

Potential to undertake many different opportunities and tasks that only the reach of a glob company offer. Multiple businesses to work in across a range of industries as well as the potential to move your career across a range of job roles.

Cons

Many dis-economies as you would expect in a large firm meaning slow progress and high levels of internal admin/control processes. Not much progression or motivation to deliver results and move the compnay forward. Quite slow pace at times.
