Pros

Extraordinary set of learning subscription services.

Some of the senior technical people are good to work with.

Campus food and transport.

Cons

You'll waste 80 percent of your work life doing garbage or irrelevant things.

Office politics - a constant threat from subordinates with the same knowledge, so knowledge sharing is considered a dangerous business.

Pathetic financial engineering to fool you into feeling good about a bad compensation (peanuts) or the promise of better compensation that you will never see (a carrot).

Advice to Management

Too late to recover from the downfall.

Earn some good karma if possible during these end of days.
