Cons
Company priorities are shifting in some areas, which may create uncertainty in certain business areas and future outlook. Some business processes aren't as well-defined or resourced as expected for a company of its size leaving room for improvement but also work frustration. Recent restructuring and growth may have driven gaps which will be remedied given enough time. Despite being a large, multi-billion dollar company, in many circles the company may be unknown allowing for a more challenging competitive position. If involved in business development or similar, consideration of the business area may be crucial to understand probability of success.
