Cons

The company is too big for its own good. Typically, you need to work with multiple teams and navigate miles of red tape to get things done. The work feels meaningless as you typically won't receive proper training to truly understand what the applications you are assigned actually do from a business standpoint. Finally, with the light workload comes anxiety. You don't know when your manager will find out how little you actually do and let you go. When asking your manager for more work, they don't know how to respond.

Advice to Management

You want innovators, but you don't offer them a place in the system.
