Pros

- Good brands to put on your resume - Flexible work time (i.e. can leave at 5pm and finish rest of work from home)

Cons

- Highly bureaucratic / political organization. This organization is not a meritocracy. Cannot challenge management. Must support upper management's ideas even when they are not the right thing for the business - Mills claims to be innovation but their idea of innovation is more along the lines of taking a big box of cereal and putting it in six little boxes than actually coming up with a truly innovative process or product - Rotations are long. It will take you 3-4 years of rotations before you get a real promotion.
