Pros

We make great products. Working in a very global environment teaches you a lot about cultural diversity. The people there are great, and the work is challenging and fun.

Cons

It is very difficult to get promoted because there are many people holding high-level positions, and those people are next to impossible to get rid of or demote.

Management is more worried about underperformers' feelings than overperformers' careers.

Advice to Management

Think about the message you are sending to the people who get the job done. You need these people. Treat them like you need them instead of putting up with the dead weight.
