Flexible But Bureaucratic
Some jobs offered a lot of autonomy and were extremely flexible, promoting a good work/life balance. As it's a large company, there is the ability to move to other positions you may like. Individual managers can be very good.

All that the current upper management cares about is cutting costs and getting the stock price up (so that they can sell their stock options).
