Lots of business units with different products that will keep your interest.Cons: Depending on the teams, diversity is not always apparent. People tend to hire and work with the same ethnicity, which doesn't promote diversity nor cohesiveness, and creates somewhat of a prejudiced environment if you are not of the same ethnicity.
