A roller-coaster, if you're into that sort of thing

Pros

There's a lot going on, in a lot of different spaces. It feels like the company continues to grow, develop, and head in positive directions.

Cons

Sometimes the pace can feel quite frantic. The realities of the number of acquisitions and global nature of the company can make it difficult at times to know who you need to talk to and feel like you're across everything.
