Pros

The company is so vast, and there are so many exciting programs and technologies. If you truly take advantage of everything the company has to offer, it is unparalleled in opportunity, although it will take a lot of effort to realize. Good benefits.

Cons

It's difficult to get your voice heard. Mid-level management is very hierarchical, with lots of ego. Many managers have no idea what you are doing. Recognition can be impossible, and there are lots of insecure egos that may try to minimize what you do.

Advice to Management

Do not hire non-technical managers to try to manage teams doing things they will never understand.

Get rid of a layer of management, especially the suffocating, ego-driven kind of management.
