Business Outlook
Pros
Large organization has the resources to provide a good learning environment. If you have a question, you can usually find someone who is an expert in the area (the hard part is finding them). If you can get on the right track (e.g. start in one of their leadership development programs) then there is a lot of upward potential.
Cons
If you work in finance, expect to work on the weekends at quarter close. Expect to do more accounting than actual finance. Annual planning never stops (it just changes from SI to SII to Op Plan to whatever the new buzzword is) and there is less value in it because you do it so frequently. Financial systems are complex and may not be designed to support your business.
