Pros

They have the capital to research ideas and develop new products.

There are always interesting programs to work on.

They have many talented people.

Cons

Way too many layers of management. Lots of institutional inertia. Too many managers of engineers with little to no experience in the area that they are managing.

Programs get cut with little rhyme or reason.

Advice to Management

Try to reduce the number of layers between decision makers and individual contributors. The message (top-down and bottom-up) seems to get lost.
