Pros

- A great place to practice politics & nepotism. - You don't need to know technical skills as long as you know how to speak, when to speak, when to speak, and whom to speak. - Projects that can be delayed indefinitely without consequences. - People are (really) smart knowing when and where to take credit (up, down, front & back). - People tend to rotate internally within 2-3 years. So there's no point implement perfect system or get the business process in place because they will be replaced/ revamped anyway. So the key here is knowing how to find enough credit and moved up the ladder somewhere else. - Never ending organization restructuring. So we can create works out of thin air. Smart. - Everyone build their own empire. - Unlimited tools and systems, but fragmented. Use excel eventually. Best.

Cons

I have to insert 5 words here. No cons actually.

Pros

The size of the organization provides opportunities to continuously grow your career.

Cons

As a large matrixed organization, innovation speed can be slower than smaller companies or start-ups.

Pros

The colleagues I worked with were great, friendly, helpful. Because the colleagues were great, I'd love to work there full-time, but this was a short contract.

Cons

The supervisor I was ultimately working for had never worked in digital-related products, in which I had decades of experience. He seemed to be unaware of what every colleague would be telling me (I was interviewing colleagues using a software the manager was intending to propose use for firm-wide). Both the colleagues I interviewed, and the internal technical staff I was speaking with knew the project would not function as he seemed intent on ... forcing(?) it do so. I gave him the resulting report of its users' feedback, and I was finished with my contract. He had gone through 2 other women in this same role, already. And he hired a male after me who delivered esentially the same results. Because I wasn't there, I have no idea of the dream outcome this manager attained, or switched to, later.
