Pros

A large, truly corporate, profit-minded company. Good experience for 3-5 years, then leave, as you will fall behind in technology and salary.

Cons
  1. Project teams are worldwide. Meetings are with several different accents, so comprehension is a challenge.

  2. There is no consistent culture.

  3. If you are over 45, you will constantly be looking over your shoulder, anticipating the day you will be laid off.

Advice to Management

Go back to training managers to be managers (people and project) as opposed to the management mess that has been there for the last 10 years.
