Business outlook
Pros
Professional working environment, respectful management. Now that Georgia Pacific is a private company (purchased by Koch Industries) a lot of the corporate bloat was reduced down to core efficient teams. Less people and more work getting done. At least in the IT side of GP. I really enjoyed my time at GP and felt that I was rewarded for my efforts most of the time. Read up on Charles Koch's book market based management to see if you would be a good fit for the culture. I personally found it fit my personal values so i embraced the idea.
Cons
Big company slower to make decisions. Management has good philosophies "Market Based Management" but not all leaders actually follow it.
