Business Outlook

Pros

Big Company, lots of opportunity to learn as a student at the time. Also a lot of overtime available. Must admit this was a little while ago. But same principle is a good company to work for with as many or little opportunities as wanted.

Cons

Again a large company, sometime seen as a number rather than an individual - again though this is not a bad thing if not looking for progression,
