Pros

It's a decent company with good financials. So, if stability is what you're looking for, here it is.

Cons

Expect to work either in a big bureaucratic machine, or a 'startup group' (with all of the bureaucracy that comes from being inside of a large corporation), without the financial upside or as high a degree of creative license.

It also has some cultural oddities that are either just weird or sometimes detrimental.

Advice to Management

Make up your mind what you want to be, and stick to your guns.

Either don't diversify, or see the ventures through more than a handful of years.

It's not easy building a whole new business in an environment that isn't suited for it.
