Pros

Large company, lots of different groups to work with. It used to be a solid stock to own, too.

Benefits are pretty reasonable.

Cons

Very large company, feels very small.

Not that easy to move around the company.

Not a lot of sharing within the company.

I spend a lot of time doing nothing while I was there, and a lot of my projects ended up getting cancelled after I put a lot of time into them.

Pay raises are not great, even if you work very hard.

Advice to Management

Flatten the structure, focus better. Try to give people more opportunities to move around.
