Pros

Great benefits, nice people to work with, a thriving business, and many opportunities to make an impact based on the volume of business.

Cons

Lots of bureaucracy, many layers of management, a small set of technically capable individuals supporting many less capable. Not a lot of consequence for bad decisions in upper management.

Advice to Management

Thin the layers of management so that those in charge are closer to what is being purchased, built, delivered, or fixed.

Offer more technical advancement opportunities other than management.
