Pros

Well recognized globally, which in turn has a lot of benefits for its employees, directly or indirectly. A plethora of opportunities for people who are constantly looking for change. Innumerable domains and technologies - take your pick.

Cons

Has a lot of managers but very few leaders.

Poor hikes.

Bureaucracy at its best (worst is probably the word).

Changing from one role to another takes a billion years for the "unlucky".

Advice to Management

Must concentrate on upholding ethics. Practice what you preach and be honest with employees and customers.

Must focus on making leaders who can retain employees and their motivation.

Must give competitive compensation packages not only for new hires, but for existing employees too.
