Pros

Lots of smart people, ability to work on a variety of different things, and move from team to team pretty easily.

Cons

Approvals take too long. Too many office politics and the chain of command makes approvals take forever.

Processes are not agile.

So many resource actions over the last few years, everyone feels like they have a target on their back.

Advice to Management

Outsourcing every product doesn't help customer service.
