Good day-to-day, bad overall
Cushy job, good work/life balance, great coworkers (I still miss them), proactive & helpful managers.
Takes forever to get anything done. Promotions are really difficult; they require participation in knife-fights over headcount and prioritization to get your projects moving. Upper management is a truly awful bunch, and I hated making money for them.
Don't treat your employees like problems to manage; treat them like people you work with. I always felt like management engaged PR tactics with their employees, almost more than with the general public. They're not exactly good at hiding it either.
