Pros

Large company with many ways to grow. Excellent diversity and inclusion.

Cons

Cancels projects and fires teams without notice.

Will spend millions making an app only to delete it soon after completion.

Actually made up of hundreds of disparate companies who do not share resources.

If you get laid off from one area, there is no retention policy despite how good people are at their jobs.

Advice to Management

Plan more than one year away so you don't throw out so much money.

Create a system to retain good developers during the many, many Resource Actions that you have.
