The ups and downs of a big, big company.

Senior program manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good salary and benefits. The company has ressources to invest in intesting projects. Given the shere number of employees, you will surely find like minded colleagues.

Cons

Decision making can be slow, but what would you expect from such a big company. Top management turnover means that they are sometimes out of touch with the base of the company. Image problems and scandals make it hard to be a proud employee.
