Pros

Multinational. Better than average people management. Generally ethical. Flexibility, including work from home. Wide range of career paths. Don't have to excel to stand out in some teams. Pay often above market medians.

Cons

A 24/7 globalized company, always expecting more. Disconnected executives. Profit over people. Lots of PR spin. Outsourced labor poorly controlled. A US-centric philosophy. Bureaucracy like nothing else. Slow moving.

Advice to Management

Ditch exec deadwood, support people, so focusing purely on stock price is a meaningless EPS roadmap.
