Pros

The benefits, compensation, and job stability are outstanding. most of the projects you work on are interesting.

Cons

The execs want the company to do everything all the time and want it done in a timeframe that isn't possible with how poorly resourced most of the teams are.

Mediocre performers are often given chance after chance to continue their mediocrity because having a butt in a seat is more valuable than not having them.

Advice to Management

Make real prioritization decisions over half staffing everything. Follow up with teams that aren't delivering month after month to understand why. Odds are they full of mediocre performers with mediocre leaders covering for them.

Separately reward the teams they consistently excel.
