I want to work where my talents will be appreciated the most. I do not want to and do not plan to settle in any aspect of my life. I love the idea of being able to work with the brightest minds in the industry on the most pressing issues. The fact that they have such a large and diverse history and global footprint reassures me this is a company that is here to stay.
