Pros

Large company, well known, with amazing people (coworkers and management). Lots of growth potential, and excellent leadership development. A procedure exists for everything, and the CEO's values permeate the entire company.

Cons

Work-life balance can be difficult. Benefits do not take additional education into consideration and lag behind industry after new-hire. Sometimes the procedures are too restricting or not well defined. "Support the customer" seems to mean do whatever they ask instead of aiding them in understanding the rippling effects.

Advice to Management

Overall, good job, so keep it up. It's good that you are highly visible. Most of the time we see/hear you, it's because of a problem you want fixed. Sometimes, the working level needs you to provide additional push on customers. The employee annual review seems like a bloated process, but it works pretty well.
