Pros

Benefits

You can coast and be fine. Easy first job out of college (entry level). New college hires get raises every six months.

Cons

Terrible management of employee's time and effort.

Constant re-organizing makes it tough to get into a rhythm.

Work hours are not flexible.

Workload is extremely imbalanced; some have way too much, and some have no work at all.

Very corporate.

Claims to be innovative and modern, but they are not. Old-school policies and red tape often hold back development.

Very bloated.

Internal promotions are rare.

Little room for personal career development.

Overall compensation is much lower than the competitive market average.

Advice to Management

Figure it out. Don't hire people by the hundreds and then not have enough work for half of the existing employees.
