Pros

Technologies, large scale, and customer base. Opportunities for learning and collaboration.

Cons

Nasty office politics, depending on the team you're on, with a lack of morals, manners, and respect. Some managers lie without any shame or remorse.

Some teams don't know how to co-operate with others, nor are they interested in learning to do so. This results in bad work and their projects getting pulled or cancelled, with great waste of company money and others' time.

Advice to Management

Ensure everyone is treated with respect, and no managers are shushing employees rudely in meetings.
