Pros

Huge company with products in many areas and present all over the world, which allows for a multi-technology and multi-cultural work environment.

Cons

Being a huge company means it has a huge bureaucratic machine inside. Too many internal processes and different tools that change too many times.

Advice to Management

Reduce the middle-management layer.

Stop focusing on the processes and focus on the engineering, as that is what the customers want most.
