Pros

Access to a wide array of resources and know-how, high potential for career development . Varied industrial opportunities over many fields of application.

Cons

Huge corporation with a good global strategy but limited by the local opportunities, if not flexible enough. Sometimes difficult to adhere to the global vision or local culture completely disregarded because of the global vision. Management turnaround too rapid for long term strategies to be implemented.
