Pros

Learned a lot about how big corporations structure authority and organizations Figured out how to operate in a hierarchical structures and manage career upwards Figured out how to navigate large silo'd organizations.

Cons

Have to manage your career only one level up. Jump a level career limiting move The macrosilos and microsilos of implementing solutions to problems is cumbersome and unproductive. The toxic cultural environment are driving top talent elsewhere. The Upper management manage by command and control Terrible middle management have bought into spinning everything into positive nothing fails.

Pros

Target Corporation has a friendly, welcoming, fast paced environment that promotes career growth. If you're the type of person who wants to come in and do the same job everyday for the rest of your career, this probably isn't the place for you. Advancement opportunities are plentiful.

Cons

The atmosphere can be a bit too "corporate america" at times, but it all depends on how you view your job. There is also still a push to send a lot of work off-shore, which can be very challenging (and not in a good way).
