Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting problems to solve every day, very smart people all around to work with, scale of operations make you push your limits, relatively short lifecycle of projects enable you to see the end results sooner than later, every engineers voice counts if you know what you are talking about. Different organizations of the company are like a startup within itself, there are always new technologies being developed, it's fascinating the amount of high tech impact each one these projects has.

Cons

Operational load can sometimes overwhelm engineers, since there is so much at stake when you are making a change to the architecture.
