Great diversity of functions for one to take but no career development.

Pros

Can move from department to department to explore different functions and responsibilities.

Cons

No HR, no career management. If you want to move horizontally or vertically in the company, it will be on your own, no support from upper management.

Business Outlook

Pros

Industry leader - innovative products - fun colleagues. This industry has less turnover than most - many people with deep experience. Diverse work-force, truly a global company.

Cons

Less focus on career development than other companies I have seen. Compensation system felt less merit based than optimal. Too political at times.
