Pros

Lots of exposure to different technologies, so much to learn about networks. Good people. Good HR.

Cons

Bad management, no work-life balance. No risk-taking in spite of a stable company. They have hired donkeys to manage stallions.

There is no cool culture of a start-up.

Advice to Management

Improve the 1st line management; let them be more free and take their own decisions.

Allow the culture to be cool; don't panic and start innovating actually, rather than following market trends and running behind Googles and Microsofts.
