Pros

Great benefits and bonus for the top 10% and management perks.

If you are a recently acquired company or deemed crucial for the future, it's awesome.

Cons

Yearly offshore of jobs, especially in BU that are cash cows.

Execs don't invest or take chances other than acquisition.

Hackfest ideas are almost never followed through.

Management isn't incentivized to take risks or innovate.

Advice to Management

Listen to jobs... innovate, take chances.

It's not about how you look, or metrics about how many bugs you fix that show on reports.

These are corporate values that are often easily gamed.
