Pros

Diversified businesses make the company economically resilient. Constant growth means doors are always opening. Senior management seems consistently compentant on big picture strategy. Strong ethics. This is important. For all our flaws we're not compromising our ethics... ever.

Cons

Human resources does not share business growth goals and does not help hire, retain, compensate talented people. Middle management often lacks basic skills as lack of independant contributor career paths force mid level employees into a management path with no skills. Compensation is pathetic for talented people. If you're not talented, compensation is average to above average.
