Pros

I'm happy to have a steady job. People are usually impressed to know I work at a name-recognized company.

Cons

Too much internal politics and backstabbing amongst senior management. I don't understand how the executives allow this to happen, unless they promote it. Excellent performing leaders are forced to leave for no good reason other than a land grab.

Advice to Management

Stop the land grab and just develop and sell product. Why continue to purchase companies like Flip Video when you should be promoting and rewarding internal innovation?
