Pros

Relatively stable company.

Process-oriented management.

Many opportunities to learn.

Work-from-home (100%) opportunities.

Many smart people to learn from and network with.

Cons

Clueless middle-level management. Little or no growth unless you have the "connections." Too much process (bureaucracy) and too many turf wars. Too many dumb people hampering your progress.

Advice to Management

Hire smarter managers, or better still, give opportunity to smart insiders. Reduce bureaucracy and reward true talent. More transparent management.
