Pros

Benefits are nice, and work/life balance is much nicer compared to other regional tech companies.

Cons

Perpetual re-orgs and politics can make upward mobility tough. You can spend months winning favor with a director or VP and then, poof, they are gone, and it's like no one knows you or your work.

Advice to Management

Stop being afraid. Operationally, we are reacting. There are numerous e-commerce companies with far bigger footprints that move more nimbly. Look at Netflix, Amazon, Google. If they aren't afraid of the technical risks, why should we be?
