Pros

Lot of resources for professional advancement. Intelligent people, good compensation and benefits, with good work-life balance.

Cons

Too much hierarchy, hence by the time senior management's directives are implemented, the purpose gets distorted.

A lot of people in the hierarchy are there just to maintain their jobs with no value-add, hence the distortion.

A lot of backscratching at the upper management level to maintain their high positions, hence depriving value to shareholders.

Advice to Management

Reduce the layers and get in touch with reality.
