Pros

Bright, hard-working colleagues, decent pay. The CEO is very good.

Cons

Too much red tape. Powerpoint overkill. Poor senior leadership, especially in technology, with expectations to work after hours. Highly political culture. Too many meetings.

Advice to Management

Please fix the Technology organization. It is very top-down and fear-led. Senior leadership should inspire and not lead by fear.
