Pros

Large and diversified corporation - plenty of opportunities to perform various types of tasks - almost an IT ecosystem in itself.

Cons

Very poor management quality, bureaucratic. Managers and sales people are more important than technical talent. R&D budgets are being cut constantly. Focus is only on low-margin services.

Advice to Management

Stop treating employees like numbers. Improve your technical skills so that you can gel better with your employees. Implement a true 360-degree feedback in order to ensure that your managers are also adequately evaluated and rewarded.
