Good but could be great

Business analyst

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits are really good. Pay is decently competitive for industry standard. Occasionally you will see celebrities.

Cons

A lot of politics and very silo'd verticals. There is no cross over from one business to another. Each business unit is managed like a separate entity. This is not a warm, fostering, empowering culture like tech.
