Pros

The salary is very competitive, and the work is challenging and interesting. It's a big name in the industry and has practically unlimited resources. Push for success and employee promotion on the personal and professional levels.

Cons

Bureaucracy. So much of it.

Ridiculous new employee tests, filling in forms.

Ridiculous email client everyone has to use. So many company-wide spam emails.

It's as if they don't really want you to be working.

Advice to Management

Stop the silly acts, drop the tests, and let people do what they're there to do. A teaser for extra knowledge and such could go a long way, if it came once every 2-3 months, not every other day.
