Pros

Big company that has great benefits.

Job security.

I like the people personally.

Lots of fringe benefits like checking out a car for a week.

Cons

A bureaucratic nightmare. 90% of your job is pushing useless paper.

Very political.

Lots of lazy people, due to not being held accountable because of the paperwork nightmare.

Advice to Management

You need quality IT people, not quantity of IT people. Stop hiring two college hires for each senior hire. If you would make your processes efficient, you would be more productive and need two-thirds of the staff you have now. Too many managers looking out for their own self-interest. Need a management headcount reduction at the mid to lower levels.
