Pros

Has some smart people, interesting projects, and lots of resources.

Cons

Software projects are run as if you're building airplanes.

Inflexible education benefit.

Salary determination methods don't consider local variations.

Advice to Management

Embrace agile development for many of your software projects. Hire managers who understand modern software development. Salaries should be competitive locally, which doesn't mean a nationwide average plus cost-of-living adjustment. After working for Boeing for over a decade, I increased my salary by over 50% by leaving. Empower your employees to make decisions.
