Pros

Decent pay. Good amount of projects to work on. Some helpful coworkers.

Cons

Red tape, unmotivated people, and a lot of dead weight.

Managers who are nice but are usually yes-men.

Work is quite diluted because of the number of people involved. People are great at pushing responsibilities onto others.

No clear and defined target on any project. It's a moving goalpost.

Advice to Management

Cut down on the unnecessary bureaucracy. Invest in good IT and release systems. Cut down on the complexity and prioritize quality over quantity. Listen more to the engineers and less to the MBA marketing and planning people. Use less corporate jargon. You might not see it, but a lot of us roll our eyes on the other side of the computer screen whenever we hear these management buzzwords that don't mean anything. Have a plan and stick to it instead of shifting goalposts all the time.
