Pros

If you like the borrowed authority of the big company name in your interaction with the rest of the technology ecosystem, this is the place to be.

Cons

Constantly shifting priorities. No clear deliverables in middletier. Too many "surfers" on the back of the inertia of the big company.

Advice to Management

Start spinning off the BUs for real. Learn from companies like Intuit – let innovation become part of the DNA of the company by allowing start-up spin-offs instead of hogging employees' IP.
