Pros

Huge impact, a lot happening across the company, good salary/benefits, and from time to time, interesting work.

Cons

Can get a ridiculously high workload. Need to tolerate a non-negligible amount of corporate overhead, useless meetings, people saying useless things just to sound smart in front of directors, etc.

Advice to Management

Respect your employees. Don't treat them like slaves with no choice but to do what you say.

People get more creative and innovate better when they have room to breathe.
