Pros

Lots of training opportunities. The leadership programs are superb at getting top talent recognized and promoted. You can get involved in high-profile projects fairly quickly if you're talented and persistent enough.

Cons

Pay is "competitive," which means they pay only enough to keep you but not as much as competitors. It's always a little weird when people hired after you, with no experience, are paid more than you with two years' experience.

Advice to Management

There are a lot of senior managers. Too many chiefs and not enough Indians.

I think the company is turning into a company of executives, with no actual people left to do things, like design and test. All that is outsourced now.
