Pros

I love the people I work with; they are passionate and hardworking.

Some teams and individuals are overworked, while others are underworked. It seems to depend on the team management and how they position their yearly objectives.

There are lots of opportunities to move around the company. In five years, I've finally found my home after two other spots.

Cons

Big company issues like disconnected HR, company-wide regulations that may not make sense for your team or your location.

Advancement is difficult. Lots of people join and stay their whole careers; some adjust with the times, and others do not, making innovating harder than necessary.

Advice to Management

Take some time to invest in your employees. Good people are harder to find than you think.
