Pros

Brand Name, Infrastructure, Senior Management, Policies,

Cons

Pathetic work-life balance, second-class immediate management, limited growth and opportunities, stagnant career path, very old-style programming methodologies, pseudo-modernism, unnecessarily process-heavy.

Advice to Management

Focus on work/life management.

Give the engineers some time to relax, think, and come up with innovative ideas.

Rotate the team.

Do not promote someone to a manager's position just for the years of experience they have.
